Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...

Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

Abstract: Elastic parameters play pivotal roles in geophysics, with seismic amplitude variation with offset (AVO) inversion being a common method for obtaining the parameters. In contrast to isotropic ...

Abstract: A backward wave oscillator (BWO) is a type of terahertz (THz) radiation sources, which can produce the signal of high power and high frequency. BWO has the characteristics of high power, ...

A core tenet of quantum theory was imperilled this year when a team of researchers put forward a radical new interpretation of an experiment about the nature of light. At the centre of the new work ...
