A recent study published in an online issue of Physical Review Research examines the connections between the different properties of light, specifically pertaining to whether light acts as a wave or ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

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 ...

What is the purpose of light? How does light work? Why does light exist? This video explores the longstanding debate over whether light is composed of particles or waves. Albert Einstein demonstrated ...

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 ...

A team of physicists has reimagined one of science’s most iconic experiments—but in the dimension of time. Researchers at Imperial College London have taken the classic double-slit test and turned it ...

In the early 1960s, a new class of astronomical object known as the quasi-stellar radio source, or quasar, was revealed. As the name suggests, early observations noted that these objects looked like ...

Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.
