MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...

Light scattering techniques have emerged as a powerful set of non‐invasive optical methods for the analysis of cells and particulate matter. By measuring and interpreting the patterns of light ...

Photons, for centuries both a puzzle and a tool, continue to help scientists illuminate nature at the smallest and largest scales. Photons, the fundamental particles of the electromagnetic field that ...

Alpha particle radioluminescence detection and imaging is an advanced optical technique that capitalises on the light emitted when alpha particles interact with air molecules. When alpha particles – ...

Schematic of the MIT experiment: Two single atoms floating in a vacuum chamber are illuminated by a laser beam and act as the two slits. The interference of the scattered light is recorded with a ...

Physicists confirm that light has two identities that are impossible to see at once. (Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum ...
