Stefan Hutzler and Louise Bradley explain how they turned the famous pitch-drop experiment into an outreach activity

The classic double-slit experiment of quantum physics involves shining light through two narrow gaps to show that it can behave as a wave – now it seems the slits can be entirely replaced by a single atom. The double-slit experiment dates to the 1800s.

New research offers an intriguing variation on the famous experiment, which proved light behaves as both a particle and a wave. reading time 2 minutes A team of physicists has recreated a classic experiment in particle physics with a dimensional twist, by ...

Scientists at CERN, the famous Geneva-based physics lab, have just called into question one of the most hallowed equations in physics: E = MC2. Scientists, the AP explains, have clocked subatomic particles called neutrinos traveling faster than the speed ...

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 thrilled. The tiniest particles aren’t quite doing ...
