Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

In 1964, physicist John Bell formulated what became known as Bell's Theorem, showing that if quantum mechanics is correct, such correlations cannot be explained by any hidden loca ...

Last week, mathematician Claire Voisin was awarded the 2024 Crafoord Prize in Mathematics — one of the top awards in the field. She has been described as the world’s foremost expert on the ...

Three quantum physicists have won the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics for their experiments with entangled photons, in which particles of light become inextricably linked. Such experiments have laid the ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Innsbruck have observed a quantum tunneling effect in experiments that build off 15 years of research into such reactions and marks the slowest charged ...

At the critical point at which differences between liquid and gas seem to disappear, things are remarkably simple. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

When seawater gets cold, it gets viscous. This fact could explain how single-celled ocean creatures became multicellular when the planet was frozen during “Snowball Earth,” according to experiments.

Simple physics may explain how the Easter Island statues could "walk" miles with only a handful of people, but the debate over their transport is far from over.

AMES, Iowa – Soeren Prell reached for the bookshelf behind his desk and pulled down a binder thick and heavy with 900 pages documenting the lives and discoveries of two major physics experiments. That ...

Does anyone know of an app for simple physics experiments like Newton, but that'd allow measurement of free objects colliding? Newton only allows its springs to collide with its balls if the two are ...
