Concerning the electrons, the strange thing indeed is that they behave like waves as long as you are not trying to measure their position, at which point they suddenly stop behaving like waves.
But how do you know they behave like waves if you can't measure their positions without them ceasing to behave like waves!? Maybe I should search the cloud for more info.
Read the Wikipedia entry for the double slit experiment. (And unrelated but relevant, also read about the photoelectric effect (here).
