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

Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

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

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 ...
