Science is a subject built on doing. Students learn chemistry through titrations, biology through dissections, physics ...
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 ...
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 ...
A student in an Advanced Placement biology class might dissect a fetal pig to study internal organs and the skeleton. But can a student get the same level of experience from a virtual dissection ...
Editor’s note: This is part of a series called “The Day Tomorrow Began,” which explores the history of breakthroughs at UChicago. Learn more here. A field experiment is a research method that uses ...
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Education is an important part of Building A Better Bay Area. The California State University system has found a high tech solution to replace hands-on lab experiments for ...
The long-awaited first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way that is not predicted by scientists’ best ...
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 ...
Buried deep below the American Midwest, a new kind of observatory is taking shape that aims to watch some of the most elusive particles in the universe as they stream straight through Earth. The Deep ...
Gabriel Gomes built an agent that turns plain English into physical experiments, enabling research that humans alone could never sustain ...
After a two-decade wait that included a long struggle for funding and a move halfway across a continent, a rebooted experiment on the muon — a particle similar to the electron but heavier and unstable ...
