In a quiet lab at MIT, a group of physicists may have just resolved one of the most iconic debates in the history of science. Using state-of-the-art tools and techniques that Albert Einstein and Niels ...

A groundbreaking quantum experiment conducted by MIT physicists has turned a major page in the long-standing debate between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Their recent work, published in Physical ...

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 ...

In a striking display of quantum physics, a team of researchers has recreated one of science’s most legendary experiments—with unprecedented precision. At MIT, scientists cooled thousands of atoms to ...

A team of scientists recently conducted an exciting quantum physics experiment allowing them to demonstrate that reality might actually be real. Well, don’t everybody applaud all at once. It’s ...

Ever since Max Planck introduced the idea of the quantum to the world, physicists have argued about whether reality is more like sand or water. Planck’s famous 1900 discovery that energy is grainy — ...

In 2005, a student working in the fluid physicist Yves Couder’s laboratory in Paris discovered by chance that tiny oil droplets bounced when plopped onto the surface of a vibrating oil bath. Moreover, ...

Interferences in ordinary space are easier to understand than those of the abstract space of quantum states, so it is illuminating to make the analogy between the Ramsey design 20 and a standard ...

A century ago, the German physicists Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach carried out an experiment that gave an important credibility boost to the new-fangled notion of quantum mechanics. But as Hamish ...

A novel experiment has revealed a phenomenon called the Bohr–Weisskopf effect in a pear-shaped nucleus in a molecule for the ...
