Science - Physics
French term or phrase: comportements originaux
Leading scientists at an exhibition are to present:

"...une animation sur la caractérisation d’objets à l’échelle nanométrique, une échelle où des comportements originaux à la frontière de la physique quantique et de la physique classique permettent de mettre en œuvre de nouveaux concepts (électronique quantique, électronique de spin, chimtronique, …) et de nouvelles applications."

unusual behaviors
Explanation:
This means that in physics we usually know what happens i.e an apple falls on the ground. In Quantum physics if you shoot 1 electron towards a tunnel with 2 entrances, it can take the left tunnel, the right tunnel or BOTH (3 cases with the same initial conditions) ! That is what is depicted here : unusual behaviors at a quantic level.


Ref1:
This fact enables the understanding of Heisenberg’s indetermination principle and of unusual behaviors described in quantum mechanics showing sensitivity of the quantum environment to information.

"new phenomena" would also fit

Thank you for your reassuring explanation and to Mark as well; sorry I can't split the points. I ended up going with "new phenomena", which seemed to fit the tone best here.

Despite a few oddities such as the tunnel diode, however, quantum phenomena have for decades been perceived by designers of computers and communications systems more as a limiting factor on conventional device size than as an invitation to build novel devices.

Since the 1990s, physicists have realized that quantum phenomena open the door to powerful new techniques in computing and communications. In particular, they are hoping to exploit the phenomenon of quantum "entanglement" to produce superfast computers, unbreakable cryptographic systems, and error-free transmission of information. All of these advances, when they become available in working devices, will have many uses in both the civil and military sectors.

Quantum theory generalizes classical mechanics to provide accurate descriptions for many previously unexplained phenomena such as black body radiation and stable electron orbits. The effects of quantum mechanics become evident at the atomic and subatomic level, and they are typically not observable on macroscopic scales.
