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

For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether ...

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

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

Classical Physics (Physics established mostly by Newton), has one property that we may think that is universal, which is, certainty. For example, by using the mathematics of Newton, we can precisely ...

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

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

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 ...

The precise methodology of Richard Feynman's famous double-slit thought-experiment – a cornerstone of quantum mechanics that showed how electrons behave as both a particle and a wave – has been ...

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 ...

An international research group has developed a new X-ray spectroscopy method based on the classical double-slit experiment to gain new insights into the physical properties of solids. An ...
