Recently in my physics lab, students were having trouble with the difference between mass and weight. I had ready answers---it’s a topic I’ve gone over hundreds of times. But after I explained that ...

Simplify and streamline: Australian National University researchers test an electronic circuit with Moku:Lab. Shaddock and colleagues were driven by a core philosophy to simplify the complex – ...

We know how to derive most fundamental constants from conditions of the universe, models This is an accurate description of physics as a whole, but wildly untrue in particle physics. There are 25 ...

Jim Fast deals with elements of matter that are smaller than an atom, but his work is far from diminutive on any level. Fast, a particle physicist and detector specialist, will soon be a manager for ...

When hundreds of physicists gathered on a Zoom call in late February to discuss their experiment’s results, none of them knew what they had found. Like doctors in a clinical trial, the researchers at ...

Scientists working on Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment released the world's most precise measurement yet of the magnetic moment of the muon, bringing particle physics closer to the ultimate showdown ...
