Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Scientists have hypothesized that moir excitons -- electron-hole pairs confined in moir interference fringes which overlap with slightly offset patterns -- may function as qubits in next-generation ...

THE writer has found the following simple arrangement well adapted for the study of the visibility of fringes arising from a double slit and a “source” slit of variable width. A double slit, ruled ...

The bandgap, i.e. the energy gap between the highest lying valence and the lowest lying conduction band, is a defining property of insulating solids, governing how they absorb light and conduct ...

IN a recent observation, F. K. Bauchwitz and D. Shoenberg have reported observing a new interference effect. With the eye accommodated for infinity, they observed coloured circular fringes when ...

Interference fringes of (a) coherent longitudinal optical (LO) phonons and (b) coherent oscillation of LO phonon-plasmon coupled oscillation in n-type GaAs and (c) optical intereference of the pump ...
