ISS microgravity experiments reveal how particles cluster, helping science on Earth and future space missions.

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 ...

No one can question the impact of science on human civilization, and the importance of experimentation in science is equally undeniable. Some experiments confirm what we already know, others suggest a ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study suggests subatomic particles called muons are breaking the laws of physics. This may mean a mysterious force is affecting muons, which would make our understanding of physics incomplete.

A century ago, the Stern-Gerlach experiment established the truth of quantum mechanics. Now it’s being used to probe the clash of quantum theory and gravity. Before Erwin Schrödinger’s cat was ...

We’ve had quantum science on our minds all year long, courtesy of 2025 being UNESCO’s International Year of Quantum Science ...

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. The Matter of Everything tells the history of physics through experiments. Any book about the history of science for a general audience ...

This is Scientific American’s 60-Second Science podcast. I’m Clara Moskowitz. There are probably many more particles out there in the universe than the ones we know about. And today physicists got a ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...
