The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory helped power an experiment that might refute string theory. Experimentation in real life based on string theory is still pretty new, with much to discover. Scientists ...

Experiments show that a time crystal based on magnons can interact with mechanical waves without being destroyed.

Antimatter isn't just made of antiparticles, it's also made of waves. Now we know that this holds true even at the level of a single antimatter particle. Physicists have known for a long time that ...

When Vancouver’s D-Wave Systems Inc. provided Google with a processor designed to perform quantum computing for object recognition, there was no question it did some amazing things. But was it ...

Why the sun's corona reaches temperatures of several million degrees Celsius is one of the great mysteries of solar physics. A 'hot' trail to explain this effect leads to a region of the solar ...

There are many different ways that the speed of waves in a solid can be measured. One method involves the use of a vibration generator. Attach a string or cord to a vibration generator and use a 200 ...
