This interference pattern was the evidence Young needed to determine that light was a wave and not a particle as Newton had suggested. But that is not the whole story. Light is a little more ...

Researchers have developed pixels that can not only create images, but also analyse them. In the future, this could lead to ...

In the famous double-slit experiment, an interference pattern consisting of dark and bright bands emerges when a beam of light hits two narrow slits. The same effect has also been seen with particles ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

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 ...
