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 ...

Physicists often find thrifty, ingenious ways to reuse equipment and resources. What do you do with 800 square feet of scintillator from an old physics experiment? Cut it up and give it to high ...

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 ...

ETH conducting physics experiments with a tin of potato crips? “Many things we could never have imagined suddenly became possible during the pandemic,” Günther Dissertori, Rector of ETH Zurich ...

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 ...

An international team of nuclear physicists has determined that particles called strange quarks do, indeed, contribute to the ordinary properties of the proton. The experiment, called G-Zero, was ...

Researchers at CERN may be on the verge of explaining the universe’s missing gamma rays and hidden magnetic fields.

Scientists have produced the firmest evidence yet of so-called sterile neutrinos, mysterious particles that pass through matter without interacting with it at all. The first hints these elusive ...
