T his week marks the centenary of the French physicist Louis de Broglie's doctoral thesis, which later earned him a Nobel prize for "his discovery of the wave nature of electrons." This discovery ...

This new experiment zeroed in on bosons, particles that tend to cluster and act like waves — a property predicted over a ...

French physicist Louis de Broglie proposed in 1924 that particles of matter have wave-like characteristics, with a wavelength (λ) given by the equation λ = h/p, where h is Planck's constant and p is ...

In the 1920s, Louis de Broglie in France was studying the new ... usually thought of as a constantly fluctuating electromagnetic wave--could sometimes behave like particles as hard and precise ...
