"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Photons are particles of light, or waves, or something like that, right? [Mithuna Yoganathan] explains this conundrum in more detail than you probably got in your high school physics class. While ...

Explore the intriguing concepts of superposition and wave/particle duality in quantum physics. Discover what quantum particles look like when unobserved and how they exist in a state of superposition ...

Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre world in which an object can act like both waves and particles, and behave ...

Light’s dual nature, manifesting as both wave-like and particle-like behaviour, is a phenomenon known as wave-particle duality and remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in quantum mechanics.

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...
