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.

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 ...

Light doesn’t simply shift from being a wave to a particle at some energy threshold. Instead, all light, irrespective of energy, shows both wave-like and particle-like behavior.

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 ...

This phenomenon, of interference, is uniquely a product of waves. The double slit experiment, and subsequent, more sophisticated analogues, established that light was a wave.

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 ...
