The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

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 a paper published in Nature Photonics, the research team from the Center for Quantum Information and Communication – Ecole polytechnique de Bruxelles of Université libre de Bruxelles, has found an ...

Scientists have discovered a completely new way to store digital information—using light and a rare class of materials called ...

Canadian researchers have traced the average path of single light particles through two slits, probing the limits of a famous physics principle that seemed to suggest doing so wasn't possible. "We are ...

Anyone who has ever had to make a difficult choice between two alternatives and unfortunately opted for the one that turned out to be less favorable in retrospect will have wished they could simply ...

The dependence of the subjective visibility of the primary interference pattern upon offset and protection ratio is discussed. On the assumption that the inclination of the interference stripes does ...
