A tiny wobbling particle may be about to reveal a fifth force of nature, scientists behind one of the biggest particle physics experiments say. Physicists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, ...

The Matter of Everything tells the history of physics through experiments. Any book about the history of science for a general audience will, of necessity, be something of a distortion. The question ...

In 1960, Theodore H. Maiman's experiment at Hughes Research Laboratories produced the first laser beam using a ruby crystal ...

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 ...

Our present understanding of fundamental physics is built on the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics and General Relativity (GR), Einstein’s theory of gravitation. Particle physics is described by ...

Quantum physicist Mario Krenn remembers sitting in a café in Vienna in early 2016, poring over computer printouts, trying to make sense of what MELVIN had found. MELVIN was a machine-learning ...
