An experiment that tracks the trajectories of photons has been demonstrated. Ars looks at the history of the double-slit experiment and decides that it's not easy to decide what to conclude from the ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) The double-slit experiment is a famous quantum physics experiment that shows that light exhibits behavior of both a particle and a wave. In a new paper, researchers claim ...

Not everyone is happy with the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. The fact that particles are only statistically likely to be somewhere you expect them to be is a tough cookie to swallow. To ...

New research offers an intriguing variation on the famous experiment, which proved light behaves as both a particle and a wave. reading time 2 minutes A team of physicists has recreated a classic ...

An intense beam of high-energy X-ray photons (violet) hits two adjacent iridium atoms (green) in the crystal. This excites electrons in the atoms for a short time. The atoms emit X-ray photons which ...

In collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA, and Shandong University, the STAR group of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) ...

Researchers replicated the classic double slit experiment using lasers, but their slits are in time not space. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

That's a cool new feature. I think it really helps a lot with the science articles if some of the more advanced terms are defined in ways an average reader can understand. Click to expand... It's been ...

More than 200 years ago, the English scientist Thomas Young carried out a famous test known as the “double-slit experiment.” He shone a beam of light at a screen with two slits in it, and observed ...
