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 ...

In quantum mechanics, particles such as electrons act like waves and can even interfere with themselves—a striking and ...

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 ...

The Irish mathematician and physicist William Rowan Hamilton, who was born 220 years ago last month, is famous for carving some mathematical graffiti into Dublin's Broome Bridge in 1843.

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

The new experiment demonstrated a bizarre quantum effect from the double-slit experiment at an unprecedented scale. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

The film "Introduction to Holography" explains the principles of holography, focusing on how it differs from traditional photography by creating three-dimensional images. It discusses the role of wave ...

Molecular paths: The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the ...
