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 ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

"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 ...

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

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

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

A new concept for energy transfer between gravitational waves and light. When massive cosmic objects such as black holes merge or neutron stars crash into one another, they can produce gravitational ...

Optical dispersion occurs when the refractive index of a material changes with the wavelength of incoming light. This variation causes different colors to move at different speeds in transparent media ...

Last year, onlookers observed a startling site on China’s Qiantang River: waves forming a grid-like pattern. Dubbed the “matrix tide,” this complex wave pattern was caused by the river’s famed tidal ...
