When hundreds of physicists gathered on a Zoom call in late February to discuss their experiment’s results, none of them knew what they had found. Like doctors in a clinical trial, the researchers at ...

Here at Physics World we’re planning to publish special issues later this year on time (in July) and on SI units and measurement (in November). So to find out more about the latest work in these ...

On April 7, particle physicists all over the world were excited and energized by the announcement of a measurement of the behavior of muons—the heavier, unstable subatomic cousins of electrons—that ...

During the mid- to late-twentieth century, quantum physicists picked apart the unified theory of physics that Einstein’s theory of relativity offered. The physics of the large was governed by gravity, ...

The National Academies Panel on Assessment of Selected Divisions of the NIST Physical Measurement Laboratory will assess the scientific and technical work performed by the NIST Physical Measurement ...

The principal tool in the Atmospheric Physics Lab is a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. Because the OH stretch (which is an IR active transition) in the water molecule is particularly ...

The NineFocus meter offers much-needed bench space flexibility. Its terminal can be positioned wherever it is most convenient ...
