My daughter was pretty annoyed with her iPod case (with a screen protector). It had this interference pattern on it – here is a vine version. This is called a thin film interference pattern. Basically ...

The first real-time movie of large molecules creating an interference pattern after passing through two slits has been made by an international team of physicists. As well as being a beautiful example ...

The subtlest experiment in quantum mechanics is also one of the simplest: send a stream of particles through two openings in a barrier, and you’ll produce an interference pattern because the particles ...

Or was it? Weirdly, in experiments centuries later in which researchers took care to shine only one photon at a time toward the wall, the interference pattern remained, as if a single particle were ...

The interference pattern of a double-slit experiment. The physics equations you learned in school don't work on the atomic scale. We have Newtonian physics to explain the world we can see and feel, ...
