, but it is the foundation for this question itself: How do microscopic material properties (which are the basis for macroscopic properties) arise from quantum mechanical properties of fundamental particles and atoms? (dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com)
Because of their peculiar quantum mechanical properties these structures are interesting for applications in molecular electronics and optoelectronics. (sciencedaily.com)
Supersymmetric models posit that every fundamental particle of the standard model (the particles that we know exist — electrons, quarks, and so on) has a partner — a particle with similar interactions but different quantum mechanical properties. (discovermagazine.com)
