Quantum results lead to particles behaving like waves that intervene with one another

The fuzziness of the quantum world has been demonstrated on its largest-ever scale, probing the bounds of quantum mechanics. Greater than a billion atoms inside a glass bead acted as a single quantum wave, a vital step in making macroscopic matter intervene with itself and testing theories of quantum gravity.
Within the early twentieth century, physicists realised that, at tiny scales, matter appeared to be fuzzy. Though earlier experiments had proven that particles like electrons or atomic nuclei have been strong, new experiments demonstrated that…
