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 ...

New research offers an intriguing variation on the famous experiment, which proved light behaves as both a particle and a wave. Reading time 2 minutes A team of physicists has recreated a classic ...

Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space. The experiment relies on materials that can change ...

Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr had an ongoing rivalry about the true nature of quantum mechanics, and came up with a thought ...

The original double-slit experiment, performed by Thomas Young in 1801, demonstrated the wave nature of light. When the light—and in later experiments electrons, atoms, and molecules—passed through ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

A team of researchers at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has reconstructed one of Albert Einstein’s most ...

Researchers confirm Bohr's predictions over Einstein's theory in a groundbreaking one-atom experiment, revealing insights ...

The famous double-slit experiment brings into question the very nature of matter. Its cousin, the quantum eraser experiment, ...

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 ...
