Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to Albert Einstein’s instincts about reality. By stripping classic thought ...

A machine to send objects into the past is not the cleanest modern evidence with regard to the physical reality of time travel. It is a laboratory illusion which causes waves to act as though part of ...

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 ...

The field of particle physics is approaching a critical horizon defined by challenges including unprecedented data volumes and detector complexity. Upcoming ...

Argonne’s solenoid facility provides powerful magnetic fields for testing. A limiting factor in modern physics experiments is the precision at which scientists can measure important values, such as ...

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 ...

The history of science is never neutral. How Ukrainian identity in physics was erased over decades and why the «Soviet school» is not the same as the «Russian school.» We are bringing the names of ...

There are precision measurements, and then there’s the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. In each of LIGO’s twin gravitational wave detectors (one in Hanford, Washington, and the ...
