A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle ...

Researchers at MIT have conducted what they are calling the most "idealized" double-slit experiment yet, finding further ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings ...

This quantum balancing act—long debated by Einstein and Bohr—was tested without traditional “spring” components, instead relying on atomic “fuzziness” to confirm Bohr’s view: you can’t observe both ...

It's time for the latest update in confirming things we already knew—and, as always, it's being far more interesting than you ...

MIT scientist built an idealized, atomic-scale version of the famous double slit experiment which showed Albert Einstein was ...

Back in 1801, Thomas Young’s famous double-slit experiment clearly showed light's wave nature. As light passes through two narrow, close-to-each-other slits, it interacts creating a diffraction ...

Newton’s fame led his view to dominate physics for about a hundred years. Then, in 1801, British polymath Thomas Young devised the double-slit experiment.

The researchers redesigned the double-slit experiment, which was first performed in 1801 and demonstrated a curious trait of light: that it can behave both as a particle and a wave.

The double-slit experiment dates to the 1800s. When light is shined through two adjacent narrow slits and onto a screen, it forms a pattern of stripes.

MIT’s quantum experiment validates Bohr’s theory and disproves Einstein’s local realism using ultracold atoms and single ...
