Physicists using near-absolute-zero detectors have reached unprecedented sensitivity in the hunt for light dark matter. A ...

The inside of giant planets can reach pressures more than one million times the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of that ...

Researchers built a silver-grooved chip that channels laser energy into nanometer-spaced peaks, beating the diffraction limit and aiding light-matter studies.

Do not exceed 10 mA of current! The electron diffraction tube is fragile. Handle with care. Turn down the high voltage when not in use. It is worthwhile to contrast the diffraction of electrons with ...

In March 2020, the 600 students of the physics lab course no longer had lamps, filters and measuring devices for their practical experiments, but just household objects: the university was forced to ...

The reproducibility of published experimental results has recently attracted attention in many different scientific fields. The lack of availability of original primary scientific data represents a ...

Researchers have succeeded in simultaneously observing the reorganizations of atomic positions and electron distribution during the transformation of the “smart material” vanadium dioxide from a ...

Physicists often find thrifty, ingenious ways to reuse equipment and resources. What do you do with 800 square feet of scintillator from an old physics experiment? Cut it up and give it to high ...

Vernier Software & Technology has introduced a new system of carts and friction pads intended to help students perform hands-on experiments in order to learn physics concepts. Vernier's Dynamics Cart ...

One of the coolest things about physics is that the same basic concept can pop up in several seemingly unrelated things: say, a CD, the seed shrimp’s antennae, certain fossils in the Burgess shale, ...
