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

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

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 ...

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

The double-slit experiment is the most famous and probably the most important experiment in quantum physics: individual particles are shot at a wall with two openings, behind which a detector measures ...

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 ...

The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions are now coming into focus, offering fresh insights for chemistry and materials science. (Nanowerk News) The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions ...

Researchers discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one-dimensional bands ...

Light reflects off a soap film to create an interference pattern. When the soap film is first made, the film is relatively thick, creating a colourful pattern, largely from constructive interference.
