Physicists Discover A New Approach To Reveal The Strange, Wave-Like Nature Of Massive Molecules

A collaborative experiment by the researchers from the University of Vienna and the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, brought a revolution on a classic experiment to generate wave-like diffraction patterns in two kinds of organic chemicals. The researchers used a laser to generate mists of individual molecules made up of around 40 to 60 atoms. Researchers passed each mist through a range of small holes and then a second laser, before splashing onto a screen. The experiment is exceptional not only because it once again illustrates the strange duality of the particles that make up our world, but it could help improve techniques for significant imaging materials.
