Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Physicists have finally watched positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a tiny billiard ball. In a set of ...

Researchers have demonstrated that a nanoparticle of 7,000 sodium atoms can act as a wave, creating a record-setting ...

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

For more than a century, scientists have known that waves can behave in ways that seem to defy common sense, from freak walls ...

Even for scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding gravity, the force’s relentless downward pull is sometimes a drag. Consider, for instance, the researchers who study Bose-Einstein ...

A sensitive matter-wave interferometer measuring moiré fringes offers force sensitivity comparable to quantum interference ...
