One question in particular has vexed thinkers from Issac Newton to Albert Einstein: Is light a particle or a wave? "Whether light is a particle or a wave is a very old question," Riccardo Sapienza ...

In the process, their experiment included photons in 37 dimensions, taking science even further down this strange quantum ...

A particle? Yes, the scientists say ... the scientific landscape that his rivals had little luck pushing the theory that light is a wave. The wave theory did not begin to rebound until the ...

These conclusions have posed many other questions for particle physicists ... then we can extend Einstein’s theory of relativity to those dimensions light is forbidden from entering. The implications ...

Scattering takes place across the universe at large and miniscule scales. Billiard balls clank off each other in bars, the ...

That light can be both particles and waves is one of the most illogical—but at the same time fundamental—characteristics of quantum mechanics. This is called wave-particle duality. The theory ...

Detected by Boston College researchers, the axial Higgs mode, and materials that contain it, could support quantum sensors to help answer persistent questions in particle physics The ... a more ...

If a clean, positively charged zinc plate is exposed to intense white light it will not discharge. If a clean, negatively charged zinc plate is exposed to intense white light it will not discharge.

Scientists push the limits of quantum mechanics, discovering light particles that exist in 37 different dimensions.

In the process, their experiment included photons in 37 dimensions, taking science even further down this strange quantum ...
