In its simplest form the double-slit experiment involves sending waves through two slits in a screen and observing the interference pattern they create on another screen. This pattern is not a simple ...

The double slit experiment reveals that observing light changes its behavior, making it act as both a wave and a particle. 'This is a mistake, President': Bill Ackman responds to Trump's call for a ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...

Almost a century after the legendary debate between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, a team led by Jian-Wei Pan from the University of Science and Technology of China has brought the famous ...

A physics experiment published this year that claimed to measure a single photon in two places at once – and, in the process, discredit the idea of a multiverse – drew pushback from many sceptical ...

Materials science is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the understanding and application of the properties of matter. Materials scientists study the connections between the underlying ...
