In a stunning new demonstration of quantum mechanics, a team of MIT physicists has settled a nearly century-old debate between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, with the results showing Einstein was wrong. The team performed an idealized version of the famous double-slit experiment, confirming that light has a dual identity as both a particle and a wave, but that these …

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) scientists performing what they described as an “idealized” version of the infamous double-slit experiment, showing light exists as both a particle and a wave, a core component of quantum physics, have confirmed the original test’s results and proven that a related proposal about light’s dual nature from famed scientist Albert Einstein was wrong. The MIT …

Scientists have long grappled with a fundamental question: what exactly is light? Is it a wave, flowing like ripples across water, or is it made up of tiny particles, like miniature paintballs zipping through space? This fundamental question was at the heart of the double-slit experiment, demonstrating light’s dual nature. Just recently, physicists at MIT conducted an experiment using incredible …

Axiom Space’s fourth private mission to the International Space Station (ISS), AX-4, wrapped up successfully last Monday, with the safe return to Earth of its four-person crew after 18 days in orbit. The team included Axiom mission commander and veteran astronaut Peggy Whitson—on her fifth ISS flight—and three representatives from national space agencies: Shubhanshu Shukla from India, Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski from …

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 light. They also happen to confirm that Albert Einstein was wrong about this particular quantum scenario. The experiment in question is the double-slit experiment, which was first performed in 1801 by the …

Google has launched Web Guide, an experimental feature in Search Labs that uses AI to reorganize search results pages. The goal is to help you find information by grouping related links together based on the intent behind your query. What Is Web Guide? Web Guide replaces the traditional list of search results with AI-generated clusters. Each group focuses on a …

A new experiment involving a network of entangled atomic clocks could finally help us test how quantum mechanics fits with general relativity. Quantum mechanics is our best understanding of the universe at atomic and subatomic scales. With it, we have revolutionized our understanding of physics on teeny tiny scales. General relativity – first outlined by Albert Einstein in 1915 – …
