A team of quantum physicists has taken a concept that once lived purely in equations and turned it into hardware reality, creating a single particle of light that behaves as if it occupies 37 distinct ...

Light’s dual nature, manifesting as both wave-like and particle-like behaviour, is a phenomenon known as wave-particle duality and remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in quantum mechanics.

image: Artist's impression, inspired by the work of the artist Maurits Cornelis Escher, of the continuous morphing between particle- and wave-like behavior of light achieved in the Bristol experiment.

Evidence is growing for an ultralight dark matter particle called the axion. A study of light warped by galaxies has shown that it is better explained by axion dark matter than weakly interacting ...
