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

For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether ...

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

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

Researchers have finally resolved a century-old debate over the famous "double slit" experiment, according to new research.

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

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 ...

The precise methodology of Richard Feynman's famous double-slit thought-experiment – a cornerstone of quantum mechanics that showed how electrons behave as both a particle and a wave – has been ...

In 2005, a student working in the fluid physicist Yves Couder’s laboratory in Paris discovered by chance that tiny oil droplets bounced when plopped onto the surface of a vibrating oil bath. Moreover, ...
