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 ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

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

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 ...

Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

The double slit experiment reveals that observing light changes its behavior, making it act as both a wave and a particle.

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.

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 ...

Shock wave dynamics and particle interaction constitute a rapidly evolving field that bridges high-speed fluid dynamics with particulate matter behaviour in a variety of industrial and natural ...
