About time: Romain Tirole from Imperial College London and colleagues have created a temporal version of the famous double-slit experiment (Courtesy: Thomas Angus, Imperial College London) Thomas ...

Scientists observe unusual interference phenomena by scattering laser light from two atoms trapped inside an optical resonator. MPQ scientists observe unusual interference phenomena by scattering ...

Even younger: illustration of the new double-slit experiment using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering on an iridium oxide crystal. An intense beam of high-energy X-ray photons (violet) hits two ...

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 ...

(Inside Science) — One of the strangest things about quantum mechanics is that a particle can act like a wave. In particular, in a double-slit experiment, individual particles that are shot through 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 ...

An international research group has developed a new X-ray spectroscopy method based on the classical double-slit experiment to gain new insights into the physical properties of solids. An ...

An international group of physicists has found a way of measuring both the position and the momentum of photons passing through the double-slit experiment, upending the idea that it is impossible to ...

One of the deepest mysteries in quantum physics is the wave-particle duality: every quantum object has properties of both a wave and a particle. Nowhere is this effect more beautifully demonstrated ...
