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

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

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

The film "Introduction to Holography" explains the principles of holography, focusing on how it differs from traditional photography by creating three-dimensional images. It discusses the role of wave ...

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, known as the moiré ...

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

When I began my master’s program in cognitive science, an electrical engineering professor told us—rather arrogantly—that the soul is nothing but neurons firing. “You’re deluded if you think otherwise ...

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