A groundbreaking experiment demonstrates yet again that light exists both as a wave and a particle in the quantum world—but we can’t see both at the same time. reading time 3 minutes Albert Einstein ...

as Niels Bohr put it, “out to lunch” on quantum theory. Over the years, though, many historians, philosophers and physicists have challenged this story line. Diving into what Einstein actually said, ...

In a striking display of quantum physics, a team of researchers has recreated one of science’s most legendary experiments—with unprecedented precision. At MIT, scientists cooled thousands of atoms to ...

"These single atoms are like the smallest slits you could possibly build." For over 100 years, quantum physics has taught us that light is both a wave and a particle. Now, researchers at the ...

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the true limits of light’s wave–particle duality. Their results proved ...

As profound as was the work of Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in physics, their thoughts and practice in education were of the same nature. In 1952 Einstein wrote an article titled, “Education for ...
