By feeding students the mysteries and wonder of modern physics, Don Lincoln hopes to ‘blow their minds.’ ...

On July 5, underneath the suburbs of Geneva, Switzerland, the world’s largest particle collider will fire up and start collecting data again. And what they might find has the potential to blow ...

Physical-collapse theories have long offered a natural solution to the central mystery of the quantum world. But a series of increasingly precise experiments are making them untenable. How does ...

Researchers have combined theory and experiments to show that nuclear polarization does not limit studies of muonic atoms, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. University of ...

Tests of quantum weirdness and its potential real-world applications have been recognized with the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics. At some level we are all subject to quantum rules that even Albert ...

College professors these days face an ever-higher bar to grab the attention of their students, forced to compete with the stimuli of smartphones and laptops in large lecture halls. But when your ...

Neutrinos are some of nature’s most elusive particles. One hundred trillion fly through your body every second, but each one has only a tiny chance of jostling one of your atoms, a consequence of the ...

Target preparation techniques are fundamental to nuclear physics experiments as they provide the essential interface where high-energy reactions occur. Researchers employ a range of fabrication ...

Colorado State University will host its annual Little Shop of Physics Open House on March 1. The event features over 300 hands-on science experiments for all ages at the Lory Student Center. More than ...

This article was originally featured on Knowable Magazine. Isaac Newton would never have discovered the laws of motion had he studied only cats. Suppose you hold a cat, stomach up, and drop it from a ...
