For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...

A team of physicists has uncovered a hidden topological structure within one of the most widely used sources of quantum entanglement.

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

No one can question the impact of science on human civilization, and the importance of experimentation in science is equally undeniable. Some experiments confirm what we already know, others suggest a ...

The Heising-Simons Foundation recently announced $3 million in multi-institution grants for theoretical and experimental research on Informing Gravity Theory. Half of the award has been granted to a ...

A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

Atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics is a foundational discipline within the physical sciences. It is the study of light and matter and their interactions, and deals with electrons, atoms, ...

Geometric optics is a confusing subject for many physics students, who often first encounter the subject in introductory college physics classes. Traditional instruction in geometric optics is not as ...

Come one, come all. See an electron gun demonstration, watch what happens when atmospheric pressure drops in a vacuum chamber and explore the solar system. These are just a few of ...
