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

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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, ...

If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...

From the discovery of gravity to the first mission to defend Earth from an asteroid, here are the most important physics experiments that changed the world. When you purchase through links on our site ...

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, ...

In November 1949 Chien-Shiung Wu and her graduate student, Irving Shaknov, descended to a laboratory below Columbia University’s Pupin Hall. They needed antimatter for a new experiment, so they made ...
