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

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

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

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, ...

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew.

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 ...

Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two centuries, the double-slit experiment has been providing a direct visual ...

Addressing a controversy first raised around 1910, two physicists have performed experiments with the aid of an engineer that validate anew the special theory of relativity’s limitations on the speed ...

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 ...

Although science often advances through tried-and-tested methods, sometimes scientists have to find creative ways to test ...
