Scientists just measured something that sounds impossible. When light passes through atoms, it can spend what appears to be less than zero time interacting with them. Yes, negative time. And no, this ...

"These single atoms are like the smallest slits you could possibly build." For over 100 years, quantum physics has taught us that light is both a wave and a particle. Now, researchers at the ...

For centuries, most scientists have shared the belief that light behaves as both a wave and a particle. This idea, then, became the central component to quantum theory, sprouting the field of science ...

For this project I show how to make make a pendulum wave, an interesting science/physics experiment where a series of pendulums is measured so that each one moves slightly faster than the one before ...

It's nothing new—politicians complain about silly science projects funded by the government to get taxpayers riled up. I get it. You might think super expensive particle accelerators or even ...

Particles of light that effectively exist in 37 dimensions at once have been used to test an extreme version of a quantum paradox. “This experiment shows that quantum physics is more nonclassical than ...

A classic quantum experiment that shows how particles can behave like waves has been demonstrated with atoms for the first time, something that was thought to be impossible. The finding could be used ...

Neutrinos are some of nature’s most elusive particles. One hundred trillion fly through your body every second, but each one has only a tiny chance of jostling one of your atoms, a consequence of the ...

ABSTRACT: Gravitational wave detection has ushered in a new era of observing the universe, providing humanity with a novel window for cosmic cognition. This theoretical study systematically traces the ...
