Researchers have used a 350-year-old theorem to better understand the strange nature of light. The team took a theorem used for describing pendulums and substituted the brightness of light in for what ...

Physicists use a 350-year-old theorem that explains the workings of pendulums and planets to reveal new properties of light waves. Since the 17th century, when Isaac Newton and Christiaan Huygens ...

"These single atoms are like the smallest slits you could possibly build." For over 100 years, quantum physics has taught us that light is both a wave and a particle. Now, researchers at the ...

Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr had an ongoing rivalry about the true nature of quantum mechanics, and came up with a thought ...

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 ...
