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 ...

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 ...

Amid an outpouring of obesity data Monday, Wave Life Sciences and Structure Therapeutics were among the biotechs jockeying to set their weight loss assets apart in an increasingly crowded field as ...

The purpose of this paper is to stimulate researchers to do the following proposed experiments, based on the well-known double-slit experiments and the resulting experimentally established ...

Two centuries ago, the double-slit experiment revealed the strange nature of light – somewhat wave and somewhat particle. This quietly launched modern quantum theory. Now, a team at the Massachusetts ...
