New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found ...

In the search for new physics, experiments based on high-energy collisions inside massive atom smashers are coming up empty-handed. So physicists are putting their faith in more-precise methods: less ...

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 ...

A new study suggests subatomic particles called muons are breaking the laws of physics. This may mean a mysterious force is affecting muons, which would make our understanding of physics incomplete.

In 1971, graduate student Stuart Freedman and postdoctoral fellow John Clauser took over a room in the sub-basement of Birge Hall at the University of California, Berkeley, and built an experiment ...

After a two-decade wait that included a long struggle for funding and a move halfway across a continent, a rebooted experiment on the muon — a particle similar to the electron but heavier and unstable ...

Wu designed and executed an experiment that questioned — and then disproved — the infallibility of parity. After freezing a ...

It is unusual for TV news to open with a story about physics, but it happened on July 4, 2012, when all around the world stations chose to devote prime time to breaking news from Geneva: a search of ...
