Wave-particle duality is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, suggesting that all matter exhibits both wave and particle properties. This means that entities we typically think of as particles, like electrons, can also behave like waves, and phenomena we usually consider waves, such as light, can also act as particles (photons). It's a cornerstone of modern physics that challenges our classical understanding of the universe, revealing a reality where the nature of things can depend on how we observe them.
