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 ...
Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...
In 1927, physicist Thomas Parnell poured hot pitch into a funnel at the University of Queensland. In this context, “pitch” is ...
Neutrino physics remains a pivotal area in the quest to unravel fundamental aspects of particle behaviour and the evolution of the universe. Neutrinos—elusive, nearly massless particles—are known to ...
Nuclear physics experiments are data intensive. Particle accelerators probe collisions of subatomic particles such as protons, neutrons, and quarks to reveal details of the bits that make up matter.
The UA community will get a chance to see the magic behind physics this Friday at an annual show. The UA Physics Department’s Physics Phun Night, held at the Physics and Atmospheric Sciences building ...
