Quantum mechanics is both the most powerful theory physicists have ever devised and the most baffling. On the one hand, countless experiments have confirmed its predictions; the theory undergirds ...

Discovery of superluminal correlations within 2D hexagonal boron nitride could advance super-resolution electron microscopy ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

Physicists in Leiden have recreated Thomas Young’s iconic double-slit experiment using gigahertz sound waves on gallium arsenide, revealing both parallels and differences with light. The study found ...

Scientists are like prospectors, excavating the natural world seeking gems of knowledge about physical reality. And in the century just past, scientists have dug deep enough to discover that reality’s ...

For the first time, researchers have performed a version of the famous double-slit experiment with antimatter particles. The double-slit experiment demonstrates one of the fundamental tenets of ...

A team from Nagoya University in Japan has observed, for the first time, the energy transferring from resonant electrons to whistler-mode waves in space. Their findings offer direct evidence of ...

Physicists have used spacecraft data to confirm an important theory of plasma physics that improves our understanding of space weather. A team from Nagoya University in Japan has observed, for the ...
