University of Central Florida College of Optics and Photonics researchers achieved the first observation of de Broglie-Mackinnon wave packets by exploiting a loophole in a 1980s-era laser physics ...

In October 1927, some of the greatest minds in physics gathered for the Fifth Solvay International Conference to debate the troubling implications of the then-nascent theory of quantum mechanics. A ...

90 years ago Louis de Broglie, a young French historian turned physicist, first suggested that the bits that made up atoms were particles and waves at the same time. Soon after de Broglie, the idea ...
