Physicists show tensor mesons play important role in light-on-light scattering
Usually, light waves can pass through each other without any resistance. According to the laws of electrodynamics, two light beams can exist in the same place without influencing each other; they simply overlap. Light saber battles, as seen in science fiction films, would therefore be rather boring in reality.Quantum Physics NewsRead More
Famous double-slit experiment holds up when stripped to its quantum essentials
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.Quantum Physics NewsRead More
