I think I first read about it in a book by Richard Feynman. It still amazes me every time I think about it :) @James:

Did you know about the electrons diffraction through 2 slits experiment? When you try and 'see' which way each electron goes (which slit it goes through out of 2) the electrons behave like particles and produce 2 lines on the wall. When you don't look for where they are going, i.e. don't try and detect... they behave like a wave, producing a diffraction pattern instead. Are they alive or something? Aware of our intentions perhaps? Anyway, that photon analogy made me think of it, so thought i'd share with you. Cool. Did you know about the electrons diffraction through 2 slits experiment?
