"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

Tokyo, Japan – One of the simplest and most beautiful naturally occurring patterns can be observed when light is shined through a pair of slightly misaligned periodic structures. This phenomenon, ...

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

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

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 ...

The stunning experiment, which reconstructs the properties of entangled photons from a 2D interference pattern, could be used to design faster quantum computers. When you purchase through links on our ...

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

Prof. Ralf Schützhold at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has devised an experiment that allows for not only the ...

The diffraction spikes so familiar to us in space images are an intrinsic property of the telescope. Reflecting telescopes have two mirrors: a large primary and a smaller secondary. Light hits the ...
