Modern research exposes a surprising gap in Einstein’s famous theory that could change our view of the universe.

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.

MIT physicists recreated the double-slit experiment using ultracold atoms, confirming Bohr’s quantum theory and challenging Einstein’s classical view.

Albert Einstein famously disliked quantum theory’s understanding that physical objects, including light, exist as both a particle and a wave, and that this duality could not be simultaneously ...

Two centuries ago, the double-slit experiment revealed the strange nature of light – somewhat wave and somewhat particle. This quietly launched modern quantum theory. Now, a team at the Massachusetts ...

A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle at the same time, thanks to quantum physics' uncertainty principle.

For nearly a hundred years, one of the most celebrated minds in science, Albert Einstein, had a lingering quantum thought experiment left unresolved. Now, a team of physicists at MIT has finally ...

First major attempt to chart researchers’ views finds interpretations in conflict.

Einstein was wrong—MIT’s quantum experiment proves you can't catch light behaving as both wave and particle at once.

When a German physicist returned from a health retreat 100 years ago, his ideas sparked a debate about reality, and gave rise to quantum mechanics — the "spooky" science of the very small.
