A celebrated experiment in 1801 showed that light passing through two thin slits interferes with itself, forming a characteristic striped pattern on the wall behind. Now, physicists have shown that a ...

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 ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

Time-varying systems, materials with properties that change over time, have opened new possibilities for the experimental ...

The famous double-slit experiment, which demonstrated that light is both a wave and a particle, has been performed using “slits in time”. The techniques involved present a new way to manipulate light ...

New research offers an intriguing variation on the famous experiment, which proved light behaves as both a particle and a wave. reading time 2 minutes A team of physicists has recreated a classic ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

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 ...

In a first, scientists have shown that they can send light through “slits in time” in time. The new experiment is a twist on a 220-year-old demonstration, in which light shines through two slits in 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 ...

UV radiation from a relativistic electron beam is diffracted by a double-slit. In contrast to the normal light (left), the diffraction shows a deformation in the central part (right), indicating the ...
