Irish physicist William Rowan Hamilton’s pioneering work contained hints of the enigmatic wave–particle duality that governs ...

In an earlier letter [Ducharme \textit{et al.} Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{126}, 134803 (2021)], a solution to the Dirac equation for a relativistic Gaussian electron beam showed that for a diverging ...

Abstract illustration of a quantum double-slit experiment. Credit: ZME Science/Midjourney. MIT physicists have recreated the most iconic experiment in quantum physics — this time with individual atoms ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

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 ...

A theoretical framework proposing a de Broglie–Schwarzschild resonance between quantum wave behavior and gravitational mass in engineered systems of tungsten toroid, graphene, and nanoparticle cloud.

A Fresh Look at a Classic Experiment The double-slit experiment is often introduced in high school classrooms to illustrate quantum weirdness. First performed by Thomas Young in 1801, it originally ...

In a quiet lab at MIT, a group of physicists may have just resolved one of the most iconic debates in the history of science. Using state-of-the-art tools and techniques that Albert Einstein and Niels ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) scientists performing what they described as an “idealized” version of the infamous double-slit experiment, showing light exists as both a particle and a ...

Schematic of the MIT experiment: Two single atoms floating in a vacuum chamber are illuminated by a laser beam and act as the two slits. The interference of the scattered light is recorded with a ...

Physicists have discovered a new formula that fully quantifies how quantum objects switch between wave-like and particle-like behaviors unlocking both deeper understanding and new applications in ...
