The wave characteristic of an electron implicates many of its particle behavior; however, the two-sided nature of electron duality does not allow for it to be observable as a particle and as a wave.

Wave-particle duality refers to the fundamental ... If this is true, a particle should diffract through a pair of closely spaced holes, just like a wave. Electron and atom diffraction.

AveNa / Shutterstock. Before the development of quantum mechanics, Einstein showed that the light, which had been considered as electromagnetic wave, exhibit properties of particles and must ...

Is it a wave, or is it a particle? This seems like a very simple question — except when it isn't. And it isn't in one of the most important aspects of our universe: the subatomic world.

We examine wave-particle interactions in a magnetized plasma. We present snapshots of an animation of the three-dimensional electron phase space distribution produced by an electrostatic wave ...

Wave–particle duality is a concept in particle physics that ascribes two seemingly contradictory traits to a single object. Think of it this way: If you had never seen a seahorse before, ... The best ...

A theory employing the vortex shape of the electron was presented to resolve the enigma of the wave-particle duality. Conventions such as “particle” and “wave” were used to describe the behavior of ...
