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

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

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 ...

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 ...

Tokyo, Japan – 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, ...

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

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

Researchers use DNA nanotechnology to build layered lattice structures that produce new interference patterns with unique physical properties and nanoscale control. (Nanowerk News) Researchers are ...

High-resolution images measured using the scanning tunneling microscope show quantum interference patterns in magic-angle graphene. The ways that these patterns change across the material tells ...
