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 ...

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

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

The classic double-slit experiment of quantum physics involves shining light through two narrow gaps to show that it can behave as a wave – now it seems the slits can be entirely replaced by a single ...

Researchers use an updated version of slit experiment, and figure out who was correct between Einstein and Bohrs regarding ...

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

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

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

The dual nature of light has long been a concern of scientists. It even led to the creation of the to the controversy between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr on whether light can be observed ...

The double split-experiment demonstrates a central tenant of the most fundamental mathematical framework underpinning everything, known as quantum physics. Quantum physics underlies how atoms work, ...
