A paradox at the heart of quantum physics has been tested in an extraordinary fashion, pushing the boundaries of human intuition beyond breaking point by measuring a pulse of light in 37 dimensions.

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

Physicists have taken quantum strangeness to an extraordinary new level by measuring light across 37 dimensions. Their groundbreaking experiment pushes quantum mechanics beyond classical expectations, ...

Addressing a controversy first raised around 1910, two physicists have performed experiments with the aid of an engineer that validate anew the special theory of relativity’s limitations on the speed ...

Although science often advances through tried-and-tested methods, sometimes scientists have to find creative ways to test ...

Green light means “go.” That might apply to evaporating water molecules too. Visible light, especially that of a greenish hue, might spur water to evaporate, researchers report in the Nov. 7 ...

The film explores the properties of light, including reflection and refraction, through various experiments. It demonstrates how light travels in straight lines, how mirrors can reflect images, and ...

TL;DR: This experiment may not revolutionize telecommunications, but it highlights how accessible these concepts have become outside traditional research labs. Using nothing more than an iPad, a solar ...

From a telescope network that spans much of the globe to a psychology study that spans 67 countries, here are the biggest science experiments on the planet. When you purchase through links on our site ...

MIT physicists have recreated the most iconic experiment in quantum physics — this time with individual atoms acting as the slits and single photons barely grazing past. Their results have firmly ...

New experiments at CERN by an international team have ruled out a potential source of intergalactic magnetic fields. The existence of such fields is invoked to explain why we do not observe secondary ...
