Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to ...

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

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 ...

A distant pulsar’s radio signal flickers as it passes through space, much like stars twinkle in Earth’s atmosphere. By ...

Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...

For centuries, most scientists have shared the belief that light behaves as both a wave and a particle. This idea, then, became the central component to quantum theory, sprouting the field of science ...

Super Bowl champion head coach Tony Dungy expressed his frustration with inconsistent pass interference penalties during Thanksgiving Day’s slate of NFL games. There were plenty of questionable calls ...

Don't let light pollution put you off stargazing or astrophotography, I managed to see galaxies, nebulas and star clusters all in Bortle 7 and 8 class night skies. When you purchase through links on ...
