The (Often) Overlooked Experiment That Revealed the Quantum World
...published a review and edited a book on the subject. “It was indeed one of the most important experiments in physics of all time.” The experiment’s interpretation also launched decades...
Spotting Quantum Black Holes in the Lab
Can we test speculations about how quantum physics affects black holes and the Big Bang? In physics, we discover a new law by making a guess, and then comparing the...
What Could Explain the Gallium Anomaly?
...physics: the gallium anomaly. “I think it’s one of the most compelling anomalies in neutrino physics that we have today,” said Ben Jones, a neutrino physicist at the University of...
Physicists Who Explored Tiny Glimpses of Time Win Nobel Prize
...plate launches electrons into the air (he would later win the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his theory). Before the age of attosecond physics, physicists generally assumed that the...
A Video Tour of the Standard Model
...the collaboration between physics and mathematics on one of the most important ideas in science: quantum field theory. The basic objects of a quantum field theory are quantum fields, which...
Massive Black Holes Shown to Act Like Quantum Particles
...real world? That’s what [their research] is about,” said Zvi Bern, a theoretical particle physicist at the Bhaumik Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California, Los Angeles. “It...
Are We All Wrong About Black Holes?
...analogy. This connection gave physicists a tantalizing window into what many consider the biggest problem in theoretical physics — how to combine quantum mechanics, our theory of the very small,...
Universal Quantum Phenomenon Found in Strange Metals
...involved with the new experiments. The findings, reported today in Nature Physics by a team working at the University of Sherbrooke in Canada and the National Laboratory for Intense Magnetic...
How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing Science
...No human, or team of humans, could possibly keep up with the avalanche of information produced by many of today’s physics and astronomy experiments. Some of them record terabytes of...
