particles gone to wave form

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

particles gone to wave form

Particles such as atoms bounce around chaotically, but when ultracold, they take on wave behavior, as illustrated in this figurative artist's depiction of their behavior. The image is not part of the study done at Georgia Tech but serves to help readers visualize the particle-wave duality of matter that the study also considers. Credit: science@NASA
