Einstein’s double-slit challenge finally meets single-atom precision
Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...
The famous double slit experiment shows that particles can travel on two paths at the same time -- but only by looking at a lot of particles and analysing the results statistically. Now a ...
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 ...

A new double-slit result revives an Einstein-level light paradox
Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...
More than 200 years ago, the English scientist Thomas Young carried out a famous test known as the “double-slit experiment.” He shone a beam of light at a screen with two slits in it, and observed ...
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 ...
