Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

A team of quantum physicists has taken a concept that once lived purely in equations and turned it into hardware reality, ...

Addressing a controversy first raised around 1910, two physicists have performed experiments with the aid of an engineer that validate anew the special theory of relativity’s limitations on the speed ...

Explains the concept of light traveling in straight lines and demonstrates this through various experiments. It shows how light can be observed through holes in cards, how it behaves in a lightproof ...

Physicists have taken quantum strangeness to an extraordinary new level by measuring light across 37 dimensions. Their groundbreaking experiment pushes quantum mechanics beyond classical expectations, ...

Many seemingly mundane materials, such as the stainless steel on refrigerators or the quartz in a countertop, harbor fascinating physics inside them. These materials are crystals, which in physics ...

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 ...

Scientists are probing topological insulators with circularly polarized light to reveal their many secrets. These exotic materials have potential for quantum computing and other technologies. They ...

Although science often advances through tried-and-tested methods, sometimes scientists have to find creative ways to test ...
