A team of scientists has replicated one of Thomas Edison's early experiments from his quest to make the lightbulb, but with ...

A modern materials study suggests that Thomas Edison’s early light bulb experiments may have unknowingly produced graphene decades before the material was formally theorized or isolated. Thomas Edison ...

What do Thomas Edison and 2010 Nobel Prize in physics winners Konstantin Novoselov and Andre Geim have in common? According ...

Addressing a controversy first raised around 1910, two physicists have performed experiments with the aid of an engineer that validate anew the special theory of relativity’s limitations on the speed ...

Physicists have taken quantum strangeness to an extraordinary new level by measuring light across 37 dimensions. Their groundbreaking experiment pushes quantum mechanics beyond classical expectations, ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...

The famous double-slit experiment, which demonstrated that light is both a wave and a particle, has been performed using “slits in time”. The techniques involved present a new way to manipulate light ...
