Do atoms behave like waves?

I've heard someone state that the double slit experiment can also be done with atoms, not just electrons or photons of light. ....

Are there examples of animals being sexually attracted to another species more than to their own?

I just thought that from the perspective of a female domestic cat, a male bobcat probably looks like the archetype of a perfect mate. As tall, strong, muscular and mighty as it possibly gets. Clearly preferable to any of these boring male domestics. Has anyone ever done any research on ....

Let $\omega(n)$ the number of distinct prime factors of $n$ (counted without multiplicity). A famous consequence of Turán–Kubilius inequality is $$\sum_{n\leq x}(\omega(n)-\log\log x)^2=O(x\log \log x).$$ However, I am interested in a small variation of the previous result. Indeed, I would like to obtain a similar result to $$.... Sadie: 4 hours ago Math Finding the Levy triplet of a Levy process I know the levy triplet of a Poisson process N_t- (0,0,\lambda\delta_{1}(y)) and its characteristic function is \phi_N=exp and also that of the standard \alpha stable subordinator D_t - (\frac{iu\alpha}{\Gamma(1-\alpha)},0,\frac{\alpha}{\Gamma(1-\alpha)}y^{-\alpha-1}dy) and its characteristic function is \phi_{D}(u)=exp My question is how do I find the triplet of (N_t,D_t) where N_t and D_t .... Emma: 4 hours ago Physics Expansion of Helmholtz energy To get an expansion of Helmholtz energy of a) an ideal gas b) a Van der waals gas we must integrate \left ( \frac{\delta A }{\delta V} \right )_{T}=-P I saw the solution is : Can you explain why is that? .... Christopher: 4 hours ago Physics Uncertainty in parenthesis In a physics text book I read the following:$$e/m=1.758820150(44) ×10^{11} \mathrm{C/kg} $$In this expression, (44) indicates the likely uncertainty in the last two digits, 50. How should I understand this uncertainty? Does it mean \pm 44 on the last two digits? .... Alice: 4 hours ago History What was the Nature of Resistance in 1938 Czechoslovakia? I wonder if someone might help me. I'm writing a novel. My protagonist is a dual national (English born, German parents) bio chemist contracted to work for Freiburg University (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Freiburg) 1938. At the time science is deemed useful only if it is practical and he is ordered to travel regularly .... Gabriella: 4 hours ago Computer Science Does the k-th approximate solution of a stationary iteration belong to the k-th Krylov subspace? For an stationary iteration method solving Ax=b as follows:$$ Mx_k = Nx_{k-1}+b,  I have known that when $M = I$, i.e., the Richardson iteration, the k-th solution $x_k = x_{k-1}+r_{k-1}$ is in the k-th Krylov subspace $K_k(A,b)$ with $x_0=0$. So, if we use a Krylov subspace method e.g., ....

How does one apply Gauss's Law when dealing with two infinite planes?

If you have two parallel planes with one density of 1 C/m^2 and the other with -1 C/m^2 density and you need to find the electric field at a point in the middle, how do you use Gauss's Law? I drew a box enclosing one plane to find the electric ....

How is the phase of a BEC changing when some particles are being removed?

I have some trouble understanding what happens to the phase of a BEC when some particles are removed. The motivation of the question is the experiment of observing interference between two BECs. In my current picture, a BEC is a state $\Phi(r)e^{i\varphi}$, where $\Phi(r)$ is the N-fold tensorproduct of the ....
