Abstract: The wave-particle duality postulate is well verified and holds that 'atomic' particles have wave as well as particle properties. But, in terms of increasing mass, how far does this principle of quantum theory apply? Experiments with the fullerene C60extend evidence for wave-particle behaviour by an order of magnitude towards -- but still far short of -- the macroscopic domain.
