"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...
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 ...
Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought ...
God does not play dice with the universe,” Albert Einstein famously declared in 1927, sparking one of the most enduring ...
Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space. The experiment relies on materials that can change ...
A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...
Light’s dual nature, manifesting as both wave-like and particle-like behaviour, is a phenomenon known as wave-particle duality and remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in quantum mechanics.
Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...
