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

A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

What is the most beautiful experiment in physics? Robert P Crease invites your suggestions Small wonder: this STM image of an oval-shaped array of iron atoms on a copper surface is a real experimental ...

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 ...

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 ...

Diana Parno’s head swam when she first stepped inside the enormous, metallic vessel of the experiment KATRIN. Within the house-sized, oblong structure, everything was symmetrical, clean and blindingly ...

THIS book, prepared for use in the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, is suitable for candidates for engineering degrees who have already pursued laboratory courses in physics. “Each experiment has ...

A new quantum physics experiment just lent evidence to a mind-boggling idea that was previously limited to the realm of theory, according to the MIT Technology Review — that under the right conditions ...

A student in an Advanced Placement biology class might dissect a fetal pig to study internal organs and the skeleton. But can a student get the same level of experience from a virtual dissection ...

An underground vat of liquid xenon in Italy may have just detected a new particle, born in the heart of the sun. If that's indeed what happened, it could upend laws of physics that have held fast for ...
