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

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

For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether ...

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

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

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

Researchers have finally resolved a century-old debate over the famous "double slit" experiment, according to new research.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The precise methodology of Richard Feynman's famous double-slit thought-experiment – a cornerstone of quantum mechanics that showed how electrons behave as both a particle and a wave – has been ...
