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

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

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

A persistent group of scientists at the University of Warsaw have accomplished the impossible by creating a hologram of a solitary particle of light, reports Business Insider.

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

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

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

While the concept of time travel has long captured public imagination, modern physics actually approaches time in a much more subtle manner. Instead o.
