The Cold Atom Lab is a facility for the study of ultra-cold quantum gases in the microgravity environment of the ...

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 ...

Assistant Professor Haocun Yu is something of a scientific diplomat. In a recent Physical Review Letters publication, she and ...

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 ...

Neutrinos are some of nature’s most elusive particles. One hundred trillion fly through your body every second, but each one has only a tiny chance of jostling one of your atoms, a consequence of the ...

The physical concept of the density-free regime has been verified for the first time on EAST in this work. The EAST experiments combine control of the initial fuel gas pressure with electron cyclotron ...

The ALICE Collaboration is a winner of the 2025 Gizmodo Science Fair for transforming lead into gold for a fraction of a second and exposing the strange physics that goes on inside the Large Hadron ...

Researchers just witnessed a superconductor behavior that defies our current understanding of physics. At a certain electron density, quantum fluctuations—the phenomena that make superconductors stop ...

Researchers have started to unravel the mysteries of how near-horizontal bowling in cricket leads to such tough-to-hit balls. The team employed a wake survey rake device made of multiple tubes ...

When the legends of physics such as Galileo, Newton and Faraday were driving forward our knowledge of the Universe, they did so with simple tabletop equipment, working in small basement laboratories.

From levitating magnets to mind-bending psychology studies, these ten experiments reveal just how surprising - and mysterious - our world can be. Each one challenges what we think we know about ...
