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 ...
Results from KATRIN and MicroBooNE strongly disfavour a light sterile-neutrino explanation of longstanding anomalies.
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 ...
Tiny 3D-printed “light cages” are giving researchers a new way to catch and hold individual particles of light on a chip, a ...
Anne L’Huillier of Lund University, Pierre Agostini of The Ohio State University, and Ferenc Krausz of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics won this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics “for ...
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 ...
The constancy of the speed of light is a pillar of modern physics, but questions persist about its absolute universality. Advanced theories, seeking to unify general relativity and quantum mechanics, ...
A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...
