"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...
Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...
Researchers use an updated version of slit experiment, and figure out who was correct between Einstein and Bohrs regarding ...
God does not play dice with the universe,” Albert Einstein famously declared in 1927, sparking one of the most enduring ...
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 ...
The famous double slit experiment shows that particles can travel on two paths at the same time -- but only by looking at a lot of particles and analysing the results statistically. Now a ...
The most beautiful experiment in physics, according to a poll of Physics World readers, is the interference of single electrons in a Young’s double slit. Robert P Crease reports Simply beautiful – the ...
Or was it? Weirdly, in experiments centuries later in which researchers took care to shine only one photon at a time toward the wall, the interference pattern remained, as if a single particle were ...
