R. DEGGINGER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY A classic quantum experiment that shows how particles can behave like waves has been demonstrated with atoms for the first time, something that was thought to be impossible. The finding could be used to design atomic detectors that can measure gravitational waves that can’t be detected with current technology. In 1927, physicist George Paget Thomson showed that electrons passing through a crystal would diffract,… This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up #Physicists #bend #atoms #impossible #experiment This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up 0 Quote Link to comment https://hopzone.eu/forums/topic/188609-physicists-bend-atoms-in-%E2%80%98impossible%E2%80%99-experiment/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
