For decades, physicists have argued about Feynman’s Sprinkler Problem, the question of how a reverse sprinkler would operate.

Quantum physics has a long history of producing results that seem impossible until someone finds a way to watch them happen in a completely different setting. Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...

Here's what you'll learn when you read this story: CERN's Super Proton Synchrotron has a resonant "ghost." Using mathematics, physicists measured and modeled how these resonant lines intersect.

Javier Duarte kicked off his scientific career by witnessing the biggest particle physics event in decades. On July 4, 2012, scientists at the laboratory CERN near Geneva announced the discovery of ...

A team of physicists has experimentally confirmed a long-predicted sequence of exotic magnetic phases in an atomically thin material. When cooled, the material forms tiny magnetic vortices before ...
