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 Matter of Everything tells the history of physics through experiments. Any book about the history of science for a general audience will, of necessity, be something of a distortion. The question ...

Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works, a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and ...

Designing quantum experiments Left: the AI takes the first three from a class of target quantum states and produces a Python ...

In the 1930's when scientists, including Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger, first discovered the phenomenon of entanglement, they were perplexed. Entanglement, disturbingly, required two separated ...

A new book covering the history of scientific inquiry invites us to marvel at the elegance of experimentation. Some philosophers have argued that “beauty” in science stands as a proxy for truth. Many ...

The experimental neutrino physics group is involved in three experiments around the world, described below. Our research involves the study of fundamental subatomic particles called neutrinos. In ...

From bubbling volcanoes to floating eggs, hands-on science activities turn curiosity into discovery using everyday items. These projects make STEM learning exciting, affordable, and accessible for ...

Science doesn’t have to be complicated to spark curiosity. With simple household items, you can turn your kitchen or living room into a mini-lab for your kids. These easy, hands-on experiments keep ...

This August 2017 photo made available by Fermilab shows the Muon g-2 ring at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory outside of Chicago. It operates at -450 degrees Fahrenheit (-267 degrees Celsius) ...
