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

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

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

Physicists confirm that light has two identities that are impossible to see at once. (Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum ...

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

Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two ...

A team of physicists has reimagined one of science’s most iconic experiments—but in the dimension of time. Researchers at Imperial College London have taken the classic double-slit test and turned it ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

Back in the 1920s, quantum mechanics, which is the theory that underpins everything from how atoms behave to how quantum computers work, was well on the way to gaining mainstream acceptance. But one ...
