A real-life classroom experiment to teach kids about the rise of fascism is the subject of The Wave, Main Street Youth Theater's play opening this weekend at Main Street Theater at Chelsea Market.

A world-famous light experiment from 1801 has now been carried out with sound for the first time. Research by physicists in ...

Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space. The experiment relies on materials that can change ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

Antimatter isn't just made of antiparticles, it's also made of waves. Now we know that this holds true even at the level of a single antimatter particle. Physicists have known for a long time that ...

The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

Scientists review research on gravitational wave detectors as a historical example of quantum technologies and examine the fundamental research on the connection between quantum physics and gravity.

In 2005, a student working in the fluid physicist Yves Couder’s laboratory in Paris discovered by chance that tiny oil droplets bounced when plopped onto the surface of a vibrating oil bath. Moreover, ...
