"ScienceDaily (July 23, 2010) — When waves -- regardless of whether light or sound -- collide, they overlap creating interferences. Austrian and Canadian quantum physicists have now been able to rule out the existence of higher-order interferences experimentally and thereby confirmed an axiom in quantum physics: Born's rule."

Just kidding - the original article appears to refer to a very difficult to understand subtlety in quantum theory.
