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

The concept of light has fascinated scientists for centuries. A recent MIT experiment has reignited the debate about its dual nature. The MIT team revisited a classic experiment with unprecedented ...

The famous double-slit experiment, which demonstrated that light is both a wave and a particle, has been performed using “slits in time”. The techniques involved present a new way to manipulate light ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...
