In quantum mechanics, particles such as electrons act like waves and can even interfere with themselves—a striking and counterintuitive feature that defies our classical view of reality. We know this ...

The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the path of the ...

Physicists are now using a tightly controlled laser and a cloud of ultracold atoms to imitate the behavior of electrons in solids, effectively building a quantum version of electronics out of light ...

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

Measurements at the Large Hadron Collider have been stymied by one of the most central phenomena of the quantum world. But now, a young researcher has championed a new method to solve the problem ...
