The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

Frank Paul Calaprice, an emeritus professor of physics, died on June 30, days before his 86th birthday. Over the past 55 years, Calaprice’s research, discoveries, global collaborations, mentorship and ...

Physicists have nailed a fiendishly difficult measurement — the mass of the fundamental particle the W boson. The result, from the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is in line with ...

The weak gravitational pull on a particle just half the mass of a grain of sand has been measured for the first time. This most precise measurement of its kind is a breakthrough towards the quantum ...

Physics at the smallest scales is a challenge of observation: Particles are often fleeting, and the forces that govern their behavior are nearly imperceptible. But now, by exploiting decades-old data ...

(via PBS Space Time) The mystery of what happens when we go from a superposition to a definite state is known as the Measurement Problem, and it’s arguably the most mysterious outstanding problem in ...

The Nobel Physics Prize was awarded on Tuesday to three scientists for their work on attoseconds, which are almost unimaginably short periods of time. Their work using lasers gives scientists a tool ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. One of the biggest questions in particle physics is whether the ...

One of the best things about digital oscilloscopes is that they can measure the acquired waveforms using a wide range of helpful measurement parameters. Most current oscilloscopes include about twenty ...

Hickory dickory dock, this nucleus could make a great clock. A special variety of the element thorium hosts an atomic nucleus that could be used to keep time, scientists say. In a first, researchers ...

A team used a first-of-its-kind technique to measure the expansion rate of the Universe, providing insight that could help more accurately determine the Universe's age and help physicists and ...

Musk has on previous occasions claimed he received this degree in 1995, but the University of Pennsylvania says it was awarded in 1997. A thread authored by the Twitter account "Capitol Hunters" went ...
