A dark point inside a beam of light should not be much of a traveler. Yet in a new experiment, some of those points appeared ...

In the famous double-slit experiment, an interference pattern consisting of dark and bright bands emerges when a beam of light hits two narrow slits. The same effect has also been seen with particles ...

[Stoppi] has taken on a fascinating project involving the interference of thin layers, a phenomenon often observed in everyday life but rarely explored in such depth. This project delves into the ...

Tim Kovachy is in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and at the Center for Fundamental Physics, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60208, USA. Quantum mechanics predicts that single ...

Researchers have discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These so-called moir patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one ...
