The double-slit experiment’s interference patterns suggest something is in two places at once. Credit: Huw Jones/Getty Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal ...

The experiment in question is the double-slit experiment, which was first performed in 1801 by the British scholar Thomas Young to show how light behaves as a wave. Today, with the formulation of ...

The double-slit experiment was designed to investigate whether light is a wave or a particle. It is one of the most famous and weirdest experiments in physics.

The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that ...

The double-slit experiment, first performed by Thomas Young in 1801, involves shining a beam of light on a plate or card with two small slits cut into it for the light to pass through.

Single ultracold atoms act as slits, stripping away noise and emphasizing the fundamental nature of wave–particle duality ...

A team of physicists has recreated a classic experiment in particle physics with a dimensional twist, by performing it in time instead of just space. In the process, they showcased the utility of ...

The researchers refer to this as a real-world "Gedanken experiment," or thought experiment, because it takes the logic of the double-slit study as far as it could ever go.

In the experiment, researchers used individual atoms as the slit. It appears that Einstein was wrong.
