From a particle smasher encircling the moon to an “impossible” laser, five scientists reveal the experiments they would run ...

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 ...

Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest discoveries in modern physics — a phenomenon where two particles behave as a single object, even across vast distances. Einstein rejected it, calling it ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Does anyone know of an app for simple physics experiments like Newton, but that'd allow measurement of free objects colliding? Newton only allows its springs to collide with its balls if the two are ...

Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...
