"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 ...

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought ...

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

The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the path of the ...

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 ...

An international collaboration of researchers has achieved a significant breakthrough in quantum technology, with the successful demonstration of quantum interference among several single photons ...

"When an experiment turns out very different from what is expected, scientists start questioning previous assumptions and look for new explanations," says Kues. They jointly developed their new theory ...

A thought experiment that was at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally been made real. Its findings elucidate one of the core mysteries ...

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 ...
