A team of scientists has replicated one of Thomas Edison's early experiments from his quest to make the lightbulb, but with the aim of making graphene, rather than light. They succeeded, and they ...

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 ...

TL;DR: This experiment may not revolutionize telecommunications, but it highlights how accessible these concepts have become outside traditional research labs. Using nothing more than an iPad, a solar ...

Attosecond pulses enable sub-femtosecond studies of ultrafast electron dynamics. Since 2001, pulse durations have shortened ...
