"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...
Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two ...
A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...
When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...
Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...
While the concept of time travel has long captured public imagination, modern physics actually approaches time in a much more ...
Fig. 1 THz wave generation from MoS2 through quantum interference. (a) Schematic diagram of THz wave generation from MoS2 under two-color light excitation at normal incidence. (b) THz waveforms ...
Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...
