Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

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

The film "Introduction to Holography" explains the principles of holography, focusing on how it differs from traditional photography by creating three-dimensional images. It discusses the role of wave ...

Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

A groundbreaking study has challenged centuries of scientific consensus, potentially unravelling our understanding of how light behaves. Research from the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics may ...

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

Light’s dual nature, manifesting as both wave-like and particle-like behaviour, is a phenomenon known as wave-particle duality and remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in quantum mechanics.

Researchers have discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These so-called moir patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one ...

The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions are now coming into focus, offering fresh insights for chemistry and materials science. (Nanowerk News) The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions ...
