newscientist.com2025 Photon Tunnelling Experiment Measures Speeds Thousands of Times Faster Than Initial Bohmian Prediction
A study published in Nature in July 2025 found that measured speeds of tunnelling photons reached thousands of kilometres per second while calculations based on Bohmian mechanics predicted nearly zero. Jan Klaers and colleagues at the University of Twente conducted the photon exp…
Substrate placeholder — needs reviewQuantum Entanglement and Its Historical Development in Physics
Quantum entanglement involves particles that remain connected regardless of distance, allowing instantaneous correlations. The concept was proposed in 1935 and confirmed through experiments in later decades. This phenomenon challenges classical ideas of information transfer in ph…
Substrate placeholder — needs reviewTwo Precise Experiments Confirm Earlier Measurement of Proton Radius
Two recent experiments have produced results consistent with a 2010 measurement of the proton's radius that initially diverged from prior values. The proton radius determines the size of atomic nuclei and influences fundamental physics calculations. These findings, reported by Ne…
