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

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

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 ...

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 ...

“Einstein and Bohr would have never thought that this is possible, to perform such an experiment with single atoms and single photons,” said Wolfgang Ketterle, head of the MIT group whose new ...

Physics is simple. In fact, it never ceases to astonish me how, with a few simple ideas from physics in your suitcase, you can travel from your own backyard to the most exotic realms of the universe, ...

Assuming dark matter exists, its interactions with ordinary matter are so subtle that even the most sensitive instruments cannot detect them. In a new study, Northwestern University physicists now ...

(Nanowerk News) Extremely precise measurements are possible using atom interferometers that employ the wave character of atoms for this purpose. They can thus be used, for example, to measure the ...

Atom localisation techniques have emerged as a pivotal area in quantum science, enabling unprecedented precision in positioning atoms within electromagnetic fields. Recent advances have harnessed the ...
