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

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought ...

Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

Exotic paths: artist's impression of the microwave triple-slot experiment. Courtesy: G Rengaraj et al/New Journal of Physics) The importance of including exotic “non-classical paths” in analyses of ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

“Einstein and Bohr would have never thought that this is possible, to perform such an experiment with single atoms and single photons,” said Wolfgang Ketterle, head of the MIT group whose new ...

Even younger: illustration of the new double-slit experiment using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering on an iridium oxide crystal. An intense beam of high-energy X-ray photons (violet) hits two ...

Scientists recreated one of the most important experiments in the history of physics—but this time, they used antimatter instead of regular matter. All matter particles have a corresponding antimatter ...

[Stoppi] has taken on a fascinating project involving the interference of thin layers, a phenomenon often observed in everyday life but rarely explored in such depth. This project delves into the ...
