"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

In 1920, Danish physicist Niels Bohr proposed that although light (photons) has a dual nature, behaving as both particle and wave, it’s impossible to observe this duality at the same time. This is ...

Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two ...

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

A group of South Korean researchers has successfully developed an integrated quantum circuit chip using photons (light particles). It is a system capable of controlling eight photons using a photonic ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

In a mind-warping milestone experiment, scientists have been able to manipulate small numbers of individual photons of light, opening doors for the development of quantum technologies. This research, ...

Several weeks ago I picked up “The Elegant Universe” because I thought it would have information on The Ultimate Theory. Soon afterwards, I picked up “How to Teach Physics To Your Dog” in order to get ...

I just want to say that this should have been obvious, but it really helps to explain why you only see point excitations when the photon is a wave. That part was really bothering me. I'm just a ...
