Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two ...

[Stoppi] has taken on a fascinating project involving the interference of thin layers, a phenomenon often observed in everyday life but rarely explored in such depth. This project delves into the ...

The United Nations’ International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has adopted resolutions condemning interference with ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The diffraction spikes so familiar to us in space images are an intrinsic property of the telescope. Reflecting telescopes have two mirrors: a large primary and a smaller secondary. Light hits the ...

The stunning experiment, which reconstructs the properties of entangled photons from a 2D interference pattern, could be used to design faster quantum computers. When you purchase through links on our ...

Even younger: illustration of the new double-slit experiment using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering on an iridium oxide crystal. An intense beam of high-energy X-ray photons (violet) hits two ...
