"Precision in these measurements is critical, as even subtle discrepancies could signal deviations from the model — ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the ...

The lab robots — adapted, lidar-guided [light detection and ranging] industrial units made by Kuka of Germany — move slowly between automated benchtop reactors and analytical equipment, carrying out ...

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 ...

Physicists often find thrifty, ingenious ways to reuse equipment and resources. What do you do with 800 square feet of scintillator from an old physics experiment? Cut it up and give it to high ...

This article is an extended version of the article “The double-slit experiment” that appeared in the September 2002 issue of Physics World (p15). It has been further extended to include three letters ...

A new project is underway at the European physics lab CERN to produce antimatter versions of protons and trap them for study. Antimatter is the spooky cousin of normal matter. For every regular ...
