Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to ...

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

Chinese scientists have for the first time directly observed the Migdal effect in neutron-nucleus collisions in an experiment ...

Physicists have long suspected that gravity might have a hidden quantum side, but for decades the idea has been more mathematics than measurement. A new proposal for a tabletop experiment now suggests ...

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

Physicists confirm that light has two identities that are impossible to see at once. (Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum ...

A new experiment could in principle test the quantumness of an object regardless of its mass or energy. An experiment outlined by a UCL (University College London)-led team of scientists from the UK ...

An experiment outlined by a UCL-led team could test whether relatively large masses have a quantum nature, resolving the question of whether quantum mechanical description works at a much larger scale ...

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 ...
