An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2026.250149, discusses a quarter-wave geometric-phase route ...

A new optical device allows researchers to generate and switch between two stable, donut-shaped light patterns called ...

A sensitive matter-wave interferometer measuring moiré fringes offers force sensitivity comparable to quantum interference ...

First experimental observation of matter-wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom using a graphene-based diffraction grating. (Nanowerk News) One of the discoveries that fundamentally ...

The work, reported in Optica by scientists from Tianjin University and Nanyang Technological University, marks the first experimental realization of skyrmions that can be actively toggled ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

It may sound like an oxymoron, but this massive nanoparticle made up of 7,000 sodium atoms is the largest to exhibit such ...

The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without friction at extremely low temperatures, a phase now known as superfluid. Soon ...

Using a highly coherent positronium beam, the researchers observed clear diffraction patterns after transmission through a graphene film, confirming its wave-like behavior. One of the discoveries that ...
