In the famous double-slit experiment, an interference pattern consisting of dark and bright bands emerges when a beam of light hits two narrow slits. The same effect has also been seen with particles ...

(Phys.org)—Physicists have performed a variation of the famous 200-year-old double-slit experiment that, for the first time, involves "exotic looped trajectories" of photons. These photons travel ...

Researchers have discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These so-called moir patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one ...

Exotic paths: artist's impression of the microwave triple-slot experiment. Courtesy: G Rengaraj et al/New Journal of Physics) The importance of including exotic “non-classical paths” in analyses of ...

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 ...

Scientists observe unusual interference phenomena by scattering laser light from two atoms trapped inside an optical resonator. MPQ scientists observe unusual interference phenomena by scattering ...

About time: Romain Tirole from Imperial College London and colleagues have created a temporal version of the famous double-slit experiment (Courtesy: Thomas Angus, Imperial College London) Thomas ...
