Over the years, CETUP* workshop, held over four weeks during the summer in the Black Hills of South Dakota at SURF, has ...

A t the University of Queensland, there is a display containing the longest-running laboratory experiment in the world. It's ...

Researchers just witnessed a superconductor behavior that defies our current understanding of physics. At a certain electron density, quantum fluctuations—the phenomena that make superconductors stop ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

Neutrinos are some of nature’s most elusive particles. One hundred trillion fly through your body every second, but each one has only a tiny chance of jostling one of your atoms, a consequence of the ...

Physics experiments have changed the world irrevocably, altering our reality and enabling us to take gigantic leaps in technology. From ancient times to now, here's a look at some of the greatest ...

If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...

The experiment began in 1927 at the University of Queensland in Australia, when physicist Thomas Parnell set out to prove a simple point: materials that appear solid can, in fact, be fluids.

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 ...

Scientists used fluid dynamics to learn how to get the most flavor from pour-over coffee. By Katrina Miller More than a billion cups of coffee are consumed daily: French-press, espresso, cold brew, ...

We tend not to dwell on the fact that we exist in three dimensions. Forwards-back, left-right, up-down; these are the axes on which we navigate the world. When we try to imagine something else, it ...
