Classical Physics (Physics established mostly by Newton), has one property that we may think that is universal, which is, certainty. For example, by using the mathematics of Newton, we can precisely ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new subbasement with even weirder stuff. The number one hater of this weirdness was none ...

Researchers at MIT have conducted what they are calling the most "idealized" double-slit experiment yet, finding further evidence that Einstein's take on the phenomenon is likely incorrect. The double ...

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 ...

The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...

Physicists using the SOLEIL synchrotron in France are the closest yet to realizing a thought experiment first proposed in 1927 by Albert Einstein. A variation on the much-loved double-slit experiment, ...

Most of us have heard about the double-slit experiment being performed using photons or electrons, but what about atoms and molecules? Prepare to have your mind boggled! Most of us have heard about ...

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 ...
