MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, ...

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

Photon beams have long served as a precise probe into the subatomic world, offering unique insights into the structure and dynamics of nucleons. In photoproduction experiments, high-energy photons ...

LEMONT, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new set of electron beam measurements puts the upgraded Advanced Photon Source (APS) at the top of the list of the world’s synchrotron X-ray research facilities. The ...

Using a groundbreaking new technique, researchers have unveiled the first detailed image of a photon — a single particle of light — ever taken. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

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 ...

Physicists confirm that light has two identities that are impossible to see at once. (Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum ...
