If I can understand the particle in a box, I can understand quantum mechanics, which means, maybe, I can understand, like, you know, life. This notion popped into my head three years ago, and it’s ...

Plasma is a state of matter that emerges when a gas is heated to sufficiently high temperatures, prompting some electrons to ...

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks to Esra Barlas Yücel, a researcher at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, about Fermilab's most precise measurements of the muon particle's magnetic wobble. It's ...

Harnessing the strange properties of the quantum world for real-world use is the key to the future. Quantum computers work at ...

Physicists seem to be obsessed with cats. James Clerk Maxwell, the father of electrodynamics, studied falling feline s to investigate how they turned as they fell. Many physics teachers have used a ...

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing ...
