Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

New research offers an intriguing variation on the famous experiment, which proved light behaves as both a particle and a wave. Reading time 2 minutes A team of physicists has recreated a classic ...

Physicists confirm that light has two identities that are impossible to see at once. (Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

We’ve all seen recreations of the famous double-slit experiment, which showed that light can behave both as a wave and as a particle. Or rather, it’s likely that what we’ve seen is the results of the ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

A world-famous light experiment from 1801 has now been carried out with sound for the first time. Research by physicists in Leiden has produced new insights that could be applied in 5G devices and the ...

More than 200 years ago, the English scientist Thomas Young carried out a famous test known as the “double-slit experiment.” He shone a beam of light at a screen with two slits in it, and observed ...
