Researchers have finally resolved a century-old debate over the famous "double slit" experiment, according to new research.

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

More than 200 years ago, the English scientist Thomas Young carried out a famous test known as the “double-slit experiment.” He shone a beam of light at a screen with two slits in it, and observed ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

The precise methodology of Richard Feynman's famous double-slit thought-experiment – a cornerstone of quantum mechanics that showed how electrons behave as both a particle and a wave – has been ...
