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

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

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

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

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions are now coming into focus, offering fresh insights for chemistry and materials science. (Nanowerk News) The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions ...

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 ...

"When an experiment turns out very different from what is expected, scientists start questioning previous assumptions and look for new explanations," says Kues. They jointly developed their new theory ...

You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

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 path of the ...
