Physicists have taken a step that sounds like science fiction: they have coaxed light into behaving as a “supersolid,” a ...

Scientists at the X-ray free-electron laser SwissFEL have realised a long-pursued experimental goal in physics: to show how ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...

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

Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space. The experiment relies on materials that can change ...

The famous double-slit experiment, which demonstrated that light is both a wave and a particle, has been performed using “slits in time”. The techniques involved present a new way to manipulate light ...
