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 ...

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 ...

We tend not to dwell on the fact that we exist in three dimensions. Forwards-back, left-right, up-down; these are the axes on which we navigate the world. When we try to imagine something else, it ...

Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works, a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and ...

Scientists observe a visible time crystal for the first time, revealing a phase of matter that repeats patterns through time.

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 ...

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.
