A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...

Sometimes science can be painfully slow. Data comes in dribs and drabs, truth trickles, and veracity proves viscous. The ...

A group of scientists created "slits" in time, allowing them to send light through the slits in a twist on an experiment first run over 200 years ago. In the original experiment, scientists sent light ...

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow ...

A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical ...

Analyze motion and forces with a fan cart using Vernier sensors! 🏎️📊 This physics experiment demonstrates how to measure acceleration, velocity, and force in real time. Perfect for students, ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

Over the years, CETUP* workshop, held over four weeks during the summer in the Black Hills of South Dakota at SURF, has ...

The most beautiful experiment in physics, according to a poll of Physics World readers, is the interference of single electrons in a Young’s double slit. Robert P Crease reports Simply beautiful – the ...

To build the DUNE neutrino experiment and its associated accelerator upgrade, experts invent customized ways to transport fragile, expensive and highly specialized components. On a late-September day, ...
