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

Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...

We’ve all seen recreations of the famous double-slit experiment, which showed that light can behave both as a wave and as a particle. Or rather, it’s likely that what we’ve seen is the results of the ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

In collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA, and Shandong University, the STAR group of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) ...

Now that LIGO has detected their first gravitational wave signal, the part of Einstein's theory that predicts that the fabric of space itself should have ripples and waves in it has been confirmed.

Antimatter isn't just made of antiparticles, it's also made of waves. Now we know that this holds true even at the level of a single antimatter particle. Physicists have known for a long time that ...

Double-slit experiments illustrate the quintessential proof for wave–particle complementarity. If information is missing about which slit the particle has traversed, the particle, behaving as a wave, ...
