In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

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

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

MIT physicists have recreated the most iconic experiment in quantum physics — this time with individual atoms acting as the slits and single photons barely grazing past. Their results have firmly ...

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

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 ...
