A new experiment captures a single parcel of light morphing between wave and particle. Published in the April Physical Review A, the experiment dissects a light pulse associated with a single photon ...

Quantum theory is strange. With it's particle-wave duality, and spooky action at a distance, it is a difficult theory to wrap your head around. But long before we were able to test some of its ...

A new study may help answer one of the universe’s biggest mysteries: Why is there more matter than antimatter? That answer, in turn, could explain why everything from atoms to black holes exists.

Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space. The experiment relies on materials that can change ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors, thereby ...
