ScienceWhat Happens When Quantum Mechanics and Relativity Meet?

An international team led by Ben-Gurion University physicist Ron Folman, with collaborators including Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, has built a new interferometer to test how free fall affects an atom’s wave-like behavior. The device sends one atom along two paths at once—one in free fall and one held still—before bringing them together at the same place and time.
