The world’s longest-running experiment is still teaching us physics
In 1927, physicist Thomas Parnell poured hot pitch into a funnel at the University of Queensland. In this context, “pitch” is ...
In 2021, the first result from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab confirmed a two-decade-old measurement from Brookhaven, ...
From guided inquiry to open-ended challenges, physics labs are evolving to help students think like scientists. By focusing on clear goals, experimental design, and data analysis, educators can foster ...
Scientists from collaborations at Fermilab, CERN and Brookhaven National Laboratory have won the 2026 Breakthrough Prize in ...
(Left) 3-D printed parts provide the stands for the aluminum globes in PPPL's Planeterrella, a device that simulates Northern Lights. (Right) This 3-D printed part replaced the meter's original handle ...
Physicists often find thrifty, ingenious ways to reuse equipment and resources. What do you do with 800 square feet of scintillator from an old physics experiment? Cut it up and give it to high ...
In March 2020, the 600 students of the physics lab course no longer had lamps, filters and measuring devices for their practical experiments, but just household objects: the university was forced to ...
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 ...
