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

If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...

Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two ...

If spacetime is classical, it should undergo random fluctuations, which could in turn change the mass of objects by tiny amounts over time. One experiment the team suggests is that measuring an object ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

A new experiment by IBM computers shows that quantum computers could soon outperform classical digital computers at practical tasks in the next two years. When you purchase through links on our site, ...
