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

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

Physics experiments have changed the world irrevocably, altering our reality and enabling us to take gigantic leaps in technology. From ancient times to now, here's a look at some of the greatest ...

ALICE collaboration identifies three-phase process that allows particles to form despite energetically unfavourable ...

Researchers replicated the classic double slit experiment using lasers, but their slits are in time not space. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

The most beautiful experiment in physics, according to a poll of Physics World readers, is the interference of single electrons in a Young’s double slit. Robert P Crease reports Simply beautiful – the ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

Spencer Axani, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the inventor of CosmicWatch, a portable, ...
