Researchers replicated the classic double slit experiment using lasers, but their slits are in time not space. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

"If you think about it like a radio, the search for dark matter is like tuning the dial to search for one particular radio station. Our method is like doing a scan of 100,000 radio stations." When you ...

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 ...

Quantum physicists are familiar with wonky, seemingly nonsensical phenomena: atoms and molecules sometimes act as particles, sometimes as waves; particles can be connected to one another by a “spooky ...

There’s a rift in reality—an invisible border that separates two utterly different realms. On one side lies our everyday world, where things obey commonsense rules: objects never occupy more than one ...

New scientific results confirm an anomaly seen in previous experiments, which may point to an as-yet-unconfirmed new elementary particle, the sterile neutrino, or indicate the need for a new ...

Consider it good news, physicists say: “The opposite result would have had big implications.” By Dennis Overbye Antimatter just lost a little more pizazz. Physicists know that for every fundamental ...

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Benjamin Crider, a Mississippi State associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is part of the first—and groundbreaking—experiment at the new Facility for Rare ...

If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...
