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

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...

A groundbreaking study has challenged centuries of scientific consensus, potentially unravelling our understanding of how light behaves. Research from the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics may ...

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 ...

The double-slit connection In their paper, the authors draw an elegant analogy to the famous double-slit experiment, where particles like electrons produce interference patterns when passed through ...

In a first, scientists have shown that they can send light through “slits in time” in time. The new experiment is a twist on a 220-year-old demonstration, in which light shines through two slits in a ...
