A groundbreaking achievement by physicists from Imperial College London has brought new insights into quantum physics by recreating the famous double-slit experiment in the dimension of time. Led ...

Ferroelectrics are seen as promising candidates for the electronics of tomorrow. An experiment at the world's largest X-ray ...

A paradox at the heart of quantum physics has been tested in an extraordinary fashion, pushing the boundaries of human intuition beyond breaking point by measuring a pulse of light in 37 dimensions.

Physicists have taken quantum strangeness to an extraordinary new level by measuring light across 37 dimensions. Their groundbreaking experiment pushes quantum mechanics beyond classical ...

The experiment in question is the double-slit experiment, which was first performed in 1801 by the British scholar Thomas Young to show how light behaves as a wave.

Single ultracold atoms act as slits, stripping away noise and emphasizing the fundamental nature of wave–particle duality ...

Researchers at The Color Lab exposed participants to four different colors of ambient lighting after running them through a ...

An unprecedented experiment seven years in the making has shaken the field of neuroscience. Researchers set out to answer one of science’s most puzzling questions: Where does consciousness come ...

Many experiments are trying to evoke the axion-ghost in the controlled environment of a lab. Some aim to convert light into axions, for instance, and then axions back into light on the other side ...

The MINOS experiment includes about 150 scientists, engineers, technical specialists and students from 32 institutions in six countries. The results were announced today at Fermilab.

In this month’s Weather Experiment Wednesday, Discovery Lab Senior Education Manager Micah Firestone showed us how to harness UV light to create images on special paper.

MIT physicists performed an idealized version of the double-slit experiment, stripping it to its quantum essentials. They confirmed that light exists as both a wave and a particle but cannot be ...
