A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle at the same time, thanks to quantum physics' uncertainty principle.

MIT researchers used ultracold atoms to isolate the quantum trade-off between wave interference and particle path detection.

The experiment in question is the double-slit experiment, which was first performed in 1801 by the British scholar Thomas ...

MIT scientist built an idealized, atomic-scale version of the famous double slit experiment which showed Albert Einstein was ...

A groundbreaking experiment demonstrates yet again that light exists both as a wave and a particle in the quantum world—but ...

Unfortunately for Einstein, all work done subsequently – including experiments that used springs – does point to the interference pattern disappearing when the photon's path is detected. In the latest ...

Einstein and Bohr would have never thought that this is possible, to perform such an experiment with single atoms and single photons,” said Wolfgang Ketterle, head of the MIT group whose new ...
