The double-slit experiment is the most famous and probably the most important experiment in quantum physics: individual particles are shot at a wall with two openings, behind which a detector measures ...
Particles colliding in accelerators produce numerous cascades of secondary particles. The electronics processing the signals avalanching in from the detectors then have a fraction of a second in which ...
The nature of quantum particles has long puzzled scientists. While single-particle interference suggests that a photon can behave like a spread-out wave, a whole photon is only ever detected in one ...

Near-miss collisions at world’s largest particle accelerator reveal secrets of strong force
Deep inside every atom lies a restless world of quarks and gluons—the tiny building ...
One of the major criticisms of string theory is that it cannot presently be experimentally verified. Strings themselves—if they even exist—are thought to be much too small to detect using even the ...
Unexpected result from an acoustics experiment could have applications in biomedical and microsystems research. Researchers at Aalto University have discovered a surprising phenomenon that changes how ...
Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...
