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

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

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

A new concept for energy transfer between gravitational waves and light. When massive cosmic objects such as black holes merge or neutron stars crash into one another, they can produce gravitational ...

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

Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space. The experiment relies on materials that can change ...

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

Physicists are no longer content to simply listen to ripples in spacetime. A new proposal sketches out how an exquisitely ...

Many seemingly mundane materials, such as the stainless steel on refrigerators or the quartz in a countertop, harbor fascinating physics inside them. These materials are crystals, which in physics ...
