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 ...

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing quantum-classical transition.

In a striking display of quantum physics, a team of researchers has recreated one of science’s most legendary experiments—with unprecedented precision. At MIT, scientists cooled thousands of atoms to ...

A groundbreaking quantum experiment conducted by MIT physicists has turned a major page in the long-standing debate between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Their recent work, published in Physical ...

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 ...
