Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space. The experiment relies on materials that can change ...

It's time for the latest update in confirming things we already knew—and, as always, it's being far more interesting than you might expect. Simply put, scientists have conducted a super-advanced ...

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 ...

Most of us have heard about the double-slit experiment being performed using photons or electrons, but what about atoms and molecules? Prepare to have your mind boggled! Most of us have heard about ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...

Thomas Young’s double-slit experiment is famous for demonstrating the principle of interference. Andrew Murray explains why it’s now possible to carry out an equivalent experiment using lasers that ...
