For energy transfers, particles act like particles. For determining locations, particles act like waves {wave-particle duality}|.
Matter waves have spatial/momentum effects and time/energy effects, which instruments cannot detect simultaneously {complementarity, quantum mechanics}. Particles have energy, and waves have positions. Instruments cannot determine particle properties and wave properties simultaneously. Experiments can be only complementary, because particles always have both wave and particle properties.
