Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists recreated one of the most important experiments in the history of physics—but this time, they used antimatter instead of regular matter. All matter particles have a corresponding antimatter ...

A team of Chinese scientists has recreated a famous thought experiment proposed by Albert Einstein nearly 100 years ago, confirming a key principle of quantum mechanics. Their experiment shows that a ...

Even younger: illustration of the new double-slit experiment using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering on an iridium oxide crystal. An intense beam of high-energy X-ray photons (violet) hits two ...

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 ...

[Stoppi] has taken on a fascinating project involving the interference of thin layers, a phenomenon often observed in everyday life but rarely explored in such depth. This project delves into the ...
