The electron can no longer be conceived as a single, small granule of electricity; it must be associated with a wave, and… — Louis de Broglie Copy Share Image
“The bridge between the electron and the other elementary particles is provided by the fine structure constant. ... An expanded form of… — Malcolm H. Mac Gregor Copy Share Image
In the absence of a magnetic field the period of all these oscillations is the same. But as soon as the electron… — Pieter Zeeman Copy Share Image
In the 1920s, a generation before the coming of solid-state electronics, one could look at the circuits and see how the electron… — James Gleick Copy Share Image
“One of the most curious consequences of quantum physics is that a particle like an electron can seemingly be in more than… — Marcus du Sautoy Copy Share Image
“If, years later, I do use the slit detector to observe which way the electron went, it will mean that many years… — Marcus du Sautoy Copy Share Image
Now all oscillatory movements of such an electron can be conceived of as being split up into force, and two circular oscillations… — Pieter Zeeman Copy Share Image
We had to understand things like why the top quark was so heavy and the electron is so light. The Higgs is… — Fabiola Gianotti Copy Share Image
“Fine Structure Constant: Fundamental numerical constant of atomic physics and quantum electrodynamics, defined as the square of the charge of the electron… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
Now if this electron is displaced from its equilibrium position, a force that is directly proportional to the displacement restores it like… — Pieter Zeeman Copy Share Image
“The wave quality of light is the same as that of the electron. The wave determines the probable location of the photon… — Marcus du Sautoy Copy Share Image
