WashU physicists build quantum sensors in boron nitride sheets to study magnetism and stress under extreme pressure.

This morning on BBC Radio 4, the mathematician Roger Penrose, physicist Basil Hiley, and philosopher Simon Saunders had a lively discussion about the “measurement problem in physics” with broadcaster ...

The Muon g-2 Collaboration has doubled the precision of their 2021 measurement of the muon’s magnetic moment and it disagrees with the predictions based on the standard model of physics. Muons are ...

The transverse Thomson effect is observed for the first time: current, heat, and magnetic fields generate controlled cooling ...

The concept of quantum entanglement is emblematic of the gap between classical and quantum physics. Referring to a situation ...

Ideal system: A strontium ion trapped in an electric field. The measurement on the ion lasts only a millionth of a second. (Courtesy: F Pokorny et al., Stockholm University) Anyone familiar with ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. One of the biggest questions in particle physics is whether the ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

KKR recently completed its previously announced buyout of Industrial Physics, a Boston-based company that aims to “protect the integrity of packaging, products, and materials for manufacturers, ...
