Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

Light’s dual nature, manifesting as both wave-like and particle-like behaviour, is a phenomenon known as wave-particle duality and remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in quantum mechanics.

Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre world in which an object can act like both waves and particles, and behave ...

The source of a photon affects how much it will exhibit particle-like or wave-like behaviour. One of the most intriguing aspects of quantum physics is that quantum entities such as electrons and ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

As we gaze ever farther into the outer reaches of the universe, we learn more about its origins and ultimate fate. There's one major missing piece of the puzzle: dark matter. Despite making up most of ...

A persistent group of scientists at the University of Warsaw have accomplished the impossible by creating a hologram of a solitary particle of light, reports Business Insider.
