Physicists in France can watch as a mirror-lined box gradually “decides” how many photons it contains. Their experiment, which uses atoms to count the number of photons in the box without destroying ...

The time is nigh for nuclear clocks. In a first, scientists have used a tabletop laser to bump an atomic nucleus into a higher energy state. It’s a feat that sets scientists on a path toward creating ...

Physicists have taken one small-but-consequential step toward measuring the mass of an elusive "ghost particle" called a neutrino — an achievement that could poke a significant hole in the Standard ...

Initially regarded as a scientific curiosity upon its discovery in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, superconductivity has provided physicists with numerous theoretical challenges and experimental ...

Scientists have managed for the very first time to show quantum entanglement between macroscopic objects. This quantum entanglement is something that Albert Einstein famously called "spooky action at ...

Physicists in the US have shown that electrons in topological surface states keep their high conductivity despite the presence of surface defects. The experiment confirms a key prediction about the ...

The experiment involved infinitesimal particles of matter so slight and evanescent that they survived only a billionth of a billionth of a second. In their place they left still lighter particles that ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Physics can be daunting for many students, but educators on the Physics Bus are trying to change that. Educators on the big silver bus showcase novel exhibits built out of everyday items, ...
