This 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 ...

Quantum mechanics is both the most powerful theory physicists have ever devised and the most baffling. On the one hand, countless experiments have confirmed its predictions; the theory undergirds ...

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 ...

Most students stick with the subject they choose at university. Louis de Broglie took a very different path—and that change would ultimately reshape modern physics. Get breaking news anytime, anywhere ...

Film director Francis Ford Coppola has come up with another historical figure to name his latest winery, using the moniker of a Nobel-prize winning scientist for his new Oregon property. The Family ...
