From the discovery of gravity to the first mission to defend Earth from an asteroid, here are the most important physics experiments that changed the world. When you purchase through links on our site ...

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 ...

For more than half a century, the idea that light or radio waves could suddenly reverse in time sounded like a thought experiment, not a laboratory result. Now, a series of meticulous experiments has ...

Physicists have finally confirmed a phenomenon that sounds like pure science fiction: waves that appear to bounce off a sudden change in time rather than a surface in space. The effect, known as a ...

Researchers have seen Klein tunnelling – a rare relativistic phenomenon in which a tunnel barrier disappears – in a topological superconducting state for the first time. The result sheds more light on ...
