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

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

Prof. Ralf Schützhold at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has devised an experiment that allows for not only the ...

Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...

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 ...

The double-slit experiment is the most famous and probably the most important experiment in quantum physics: individual particles are shot at a wall with two openings, behind which a detector measures ...

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

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