The famous double-slit experiment, which demonstrated that light is both a wave and a particle, has been performed using “slits in time”. The techniques involved present a new way to manipulate light ...

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 ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...

It's time for the latest update in confirming things we already knew—and, as always, it's being far more interesting than you might expect. Simply put, scientists have conducted a super-advanced ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

The famous double-slit experiment, which first demonstrated light behaving like both particles and a wave, has been recreated by physicists who now say they have achieved it in time rather than in ...

Several weeks ago I picked up “The Elegant Universe” because I thought it would have information on The Ultimate Theory. Soon afterwards, I picked up “How to Teach Physics To Your Dog” in order to get ...

A new proposal would use quantum hard drives to combine the light of multiple telescopes, letting astronomers create incredibly high-resolution optical images. Imagine being able to see the surface of ...

Schematic of the MIT experiment: Two single atoms floating in a vacuum chamber are illuminated by a laser beam and act as the two slits. The interference of the scattered light is recorded with a ...
