A near-100-year-old debate between the theoretical physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr has finally been settled—and not in the former’s favor. A team of physicists in China have realized a ...

A core tenet of quantum theory was imperilled this year when a team of researchers put forward a radical new interpretation of an experiment about the nature of light. At the centre of the new work ...

A thought experiment that was at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally been made real. Its findings elucidate one of the core mysteries ...

Photons, for centuries both a puzzle and a tool, continue to help scientists illuminate nature at the smallest and largest scales. Photons, the fundamental particles of the electromagnetic field that ...

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the true limits of light’s wave–particle duality. Their results proved ...

A groundbreaking experiment demonstrates yet again that light exists both as a wave and a particle in the quantum world—but we can’t see both at the same time. Reading time 3 minutes Albert Einstein ...
