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 ...

Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to ...

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 ...

Tiny 3D-printed “light cages” are giving researchers a new way to catch and hold individual particles of light on a chip, a ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

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 at CERN, the famous Geneva-based physics lab, have just called into question one of the most hallowed equations in physics: E = MC2. Scientists, the AP explains, have clocked subatomic ...

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 ...

ALICE collaboration identifies three-phase process that allows particles to form despite energetically unfavourable ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

Researchers replicated the classic double slit experiment using lasers, but their slits are in time not space. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...
