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

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

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 ...

We’ve all seen recreations of the famous double-slit experiment, which showed that light can behave both as a wave and as a particle. Or rather, it’s likely that what we’ve seen is the results of the ...

For the first time, researchers have performed a version of the famous double-slit experiment with antimatter particles. The double-slit experiment demonstrates one of the fundamental tenets of ...

Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space. The experiment relies on materials that can change ...

Antimatter isn't just made of antiparticles, it's also made of waves. Now we know that this holds true even at the level of a single antimatter particle. Physicists have known for a long time that ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. When we divide up matter into the smallest possible chunks that it's ...

The film explores the dual nature of light, demonstrating its behavior as both a wave and a particle through an experiment involving a double slit. It shows how light creates an interference pattern, ...
