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

The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a mystery – and physicists are deeply divided about what is actually going on, a ...

The experiment showed that Bohr was definitely correct when he argued for complementarity, and that Einstein had got it wrong ...

Wolfgang Pauli was in something of an agitated state. The Austrian scientist found himself in Rome in 1931, in a seething mixture of nervousness, excitement, and consternation. Only 31, he was already ...

Peter Higgs, who gave his name to the subatomic particle known as the Higgs boson, died at the age of 94. Here's how he did it.

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 ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Three years ago, there was a frenzy over an experiment at Fermilab that confirmed anomaly of the muon - a fundamental particle in the standard model. Since then, physicists ...
