Explore 25 scientific discoveries that broke the laws of physics, from quantum entanglement to dark energy. Uncover ...

Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

Interference helps keep quantum bits (qubits) stable by reducing outside disruptions. It speeds up calculations by letting quantum computers explore many answers at once. Interference makes fixing ...

Fig. 1 THz wave generation from MoS2 through quantum interference. (a) Schematic diagram of THz wave generation from MoS2 under two-color light excitation at normal incidence. (b) THz waveforms ...

A groundbreaking experiment at the Tokyo University of Science has proven that beams of antimatter atom exhibit wave-like ...

One of the defining breakthroughs that set quantum physics apart from classical physics was the realization that matter behaves very differently at ...

Physicists in Japan have, for the first time, observed quantum interference in a beam of positronium — a short-lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, the positron. The experiment ...

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 ...

Photon duality remains a paradox because the photon is regarded as a simple, unitary object in space. Equally bad, massless radiation is interpreted via concepts drawn from mass-based physics. The ...
