"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 ...

Researchers have discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These so-called moir patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one ...

A groundbreaking study has challenged centuries of scientific consensus, potentially unravelling our understanding of how light behaves. Research from the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics may ...

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 ...

The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions are now coming into focus, offering fresh insights for chemistry and materials science. (Nanowerk News) The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions ...

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