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

Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two ...

About time: Romain Tirole from Imperial College London and colleagues have created a temporal version of the famous double-slit experiment (Courtesy: Thomas Angus, Imperial College London) Thomas ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

A groundbreaking study has challenged centuries of scientific consensus, potentially unravelling our understanding of how light behaves. Research from the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics may ...

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

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 ...

The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...

(Inside Science) — One of the strangest things about quantum mechanics is that a particle can act like a wave. In particular, in a double-slit experiment, individual particles that are shot through a ...
