Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...
Electrons travelling through two slits and a single slit. (Courtesy: Herman Batelaan/New Journal of Physics) Physicists in the US and Canada say that they have done the best job yet of realizing ...
The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...
For over 100 years, quantum physics has taught us that light is both a wave and a particle. Now, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have performed a daring experiment using ...
Researchers announced last week that they had slowed down faint pulses of laser light and retrieved an image from that light after speeding it back up. In principle such "slow-light" technology might ...
