You may think you know static electricity, but its true nature has long eluded scientists. We’ve now made a huge leap towards ...

Students worldwide may soon access interactive, 3D versions of textbook diagrams, transforming how they learn physics. Thanks to a new tool, students could take static textbook images and convert ...

Incredibly, for the first time, scientists have unraveled how static electricity works, something first recorded in 600 BCE but not fully understood until now. While cats are not the only culprits ...

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 ...

The sPHENIX particle detector, the newest experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the U.S. Department of ...

Why some physicists are skeptical about the muon experiment that hints at “new physics” The Muon g-2 experiment could upend the Standard Model of physics — but some think it may be a fluke.

However, the motivations for putting the DMNI experiments at the forefront are also tactical. In general, DOE particle physics experiments are divided into three phases—design, construction project ...

But some physics experiments require such precise measurements that even a thousand cameras might not do the trick. The 3D-printed, laser-cut camera. Sanha Cheong/Stanford University.

I sympathize with calls for a wider range of ideas in fundamental theoretical physics, but it's unrealistic to expect exerimentalists to sit on their hands until those new ideas emerge.

Texas A&M professor ignites students' passion for physics 05:24. Women account for only a quarter of U.S. graduates who earn bachelor's degrees in physics, according to the American Physical ...
