One of the first to propose this idea was physicist Richard Feynman, who, in a now-famous 1981 lecture, stated that to ...

For more than two decades, amateur photographer Dale Carter has documented the physicists who come to the Black Hills for their research.

From deep under the North Sea to the outskirts of Rome and the Canadian shores of the Pacific, the winning images from the 2018 Global Physics Photowalk competition capture the beauty, precision and ...

The reading on the current-meter was gradually climbing. Until it wasn’t. In fact, it suddenly dropped. “Uh-oh,” Giorgio Ambrosio remembers thinking. “Houston, we have a problem.” Ambrosio is a ...

Zurek says that in order for scientists to start lending weight to his claims, Verlinde needs to build the case around his theory and show that it accommodates a wider range of observations. But, she ...

The ProtoDUNE detectors for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment are behemoths in their own right.

Most astronomers trek to the mountaintops to study the stars, but a group of physicists are seeking the secrets of the cosmos with a detector at the bottom of the ocean.

The LUX-ZEPLIN collaboration has published results showing radioactive background levels for experiment’s components, creating a library for future rare event searches.

A bump in the LHC data has physicists electrified…but what does it mean? In December, the ATLAS and CMS experiments presented a sneak peek of the new data collected during the first few months of the ...

The ATLAS collaboration recently measured the strength of the strong force to a record level of precision, but there’s still a long way to go toward understanding this fundamental force.

Kamioka Observatory 1000 meters below, est. 1983 Previously known as the Kamioka Underground Observatory, the facility dwells in the Mozumi Mine in Hida, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Operational or former ...

Reusing mines, battleships Physics experiments don’t just reuse their own equipment—they also often give second lives to non-scientific facilities and resources. Old mines, with their hollowed-out ...
