Applied physicist Iker Zuriguel studies the movement of particles and people to optimize their flow and improve public safety.

Watch this mind-bending experiment as a superconductor levitates effortlessly, floating in mid-air like magic but it’s pure ...

One of the key steps in developing new materials is “property identification,” which has long relied on massive amounts of experimental data and expensive equipment, limiting research efficiency. A ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. There are precision measurements, and then there’s the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. In each of LIGO’s twin ...

In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at a startup using AI to track pathogens, a quantum cooling breakthrough and ...

There are precision measurements, and then there’s the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. In each of LIGO’s twin gravitational wave detectors (one in Hanford, Washington, and the ...

In the everyday world that humans experience, objects behave in a predictable way, explained by classical physics. One of the important aspects of classical physics is that nothing, not even ...
