Quantum uncertainty and wave–particle duality are equivalent, experiment shows
Instead it is possible to observe partial particle and partial wave-like behaviour, with a trade-off between the two. This echoes another baffling element of quantum mechanics, namely preparation ...

Physicists Find Particle That Only Has Mass When Moving in One Direction
Yet not all mass is built the same – some describes the energy of a particle at rest, for example, while mass may also take into account the energy of a particle's motion. In this case, the effective ...

Particle that only has mass when moving in one direction observed for first time
A particle can have no mass when its energy is entirely derived ... “It is a layered material, which means once we can figure out how to have a single layer cut of this compound, we can harness the ...
