A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

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 ...

What is the nature of dark matter? A new experiment led by Columbia University physics professors aims to find out.

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 ...

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 ...

Diana Parno’s head swam when she first stepped inside the enormous, metallic vessel of the experiment KATRIN. Within the house-sized, oblong structure, everything was symmetrical, clean and blindingly ...

An underground vat of liquid xenon in Italy may have just detected a new particle, born in the heart of the sun. If that's indeed what happened, it could upend laws of physics that have held fast for ...

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 ...
