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

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

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

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

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

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

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, ...

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

Molecular paths: The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the ...

Exotic paths: artist's impression of the microwave triple-slot experiment. Courtesy: G Rengaraj et al/New Journal of Physics) The importance of including exotic “non-classical paths” in analyses of ...

The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...
