Light scattering techniques have emerged as a powerful set of non‐invasive optical methods for the analysis of cells and particulate matter. By measuring and interpreting the patterns of light ...
Schematic of the MIT experiment: Two single atoms floating in a vacuum chamber are illuminated by a laser beam and act as the two slits. The interference of the scattered light is recorded with a ...
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 ...
