A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle ...

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the ...

MIT researchers used ultracold atoms to isolate the quantum trade-off between wave interference and particle path detection.

In a striking display of quantum physics, a team of researchers has recreated one of science’s most legendary ...

A groundbreaking experiment demonstrates yet again that light exists both as a wave and a particle in the quantum world—but ...

This quantum balancing act—long debated by Einstein and Bohr—was tested without traditional “spring” components, instead ...

Like the proverbial tree falling in the forest, scientists wonder: does reality exist on its own . . . or just when you observe the world?

This article is more than 4 years old. Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this ... More 2015 photograph. ... Fabrizio Carbone/EPFL (2015) ...

Unfortunately for Einstein, all work done subsequently – including experiments that used springs – does point to the ...

The wave-particle debate started out in the time of Isaac Newton. Water waves were just beginning to be understood, and a series of experiments revealed that light had more to it than meets the eye.

Photons are particles of light, or waves, or something like that, right? [Mithuna Yoganathan] explains this conundrum in more detail than you probably got in your high school phys ...
