The film explores the dual nature of light, demonstrating its behavior as both a wave and a particle through an experiment involving a double slit. It shows how light creates an interference pattern, ...

From the most distant stars in the sky to the screen in front of your face, light is everywhere. But the exact nature of ...

The fundamental particle of light is both ordinary and full of surprises. What physicists refer to as photons, other people might just call light. As quanta of light, photons are the smallest possible ...

This artist's concept depicts a twisted vortex beam striking the gated photodetector, which filters the waveform by matching its twist pattern. This allows scientists to embed data in the waveform.

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Hi Ishan! Thanks for your great question. Light can be described both as a wave and as a particle. There are two experiments in ...
