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 ...

The largest nuclear fusion experiment in the world, the Joint European Torus (JET), has begun a new wave of testing this month. In a statement from the UK Atomic Energy Authority, it was announced ...

Just like there are waves in the ocean, waves can also occur in an electrically charged gas called a plasma, made up of electrons and ions. In the ocean, people surf by riding their boards at nearly ...

Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space. The experiment relies on materials that can change ...

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 ...

NASA’s Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) has successfully completed its critical space environment tests. Planned for launch to the International Space Station, AWE will study gravity waves in ...

A team of international scientists co-led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have discovered a ...

The film explores the properties of sound waves in air, demonstrating that sound travels at approximately 1,100 feet per second and reflects similarly to light. Through experiments using echoes, beams ...

There's something different about the waves at Torrey Pines State Beach in California: they're pink, temporarily, of course. The coloring comes from a pink dye that's part of an experiment to research ...
