Explore 25 science experiments that defied the laws of physics, revealing mind-bending phenomena that challenge intuition.

We tend not to dwell on the fact that we exist in three dimensions. Forwards-back, left-right, up-down; these are the axes on which we navigate the world. When we try to imagine something else, it ...

Discover the simple experiment that transformed our understanding of physics and why its insights still influence science today. Surprisingly, you can even try a version of it at home with basic ...

In physics, breakthroughs are rare. Experiments are slow, expensive and often end up refining, rather than rewriting, our understanding of the universe. But what if the only constraint on scientific ...

The most beautiful experiment in physics, according to a poll of Physics World readers, is the interference of single electrons in a Young’s double slit. Robert P Crease reports Simply beautiful – the ...

Scientists observe a visible time crystal for the first time, revealing a phase of matter that repeats patterns through time.

The UA community will get a chance to see the magic behind physics this Friday at an annual show. The UA Physics Department’s Physics Phun Night, held at the Physics and Atmospheric Sciences building ...

Thought experiments can be extremely powerful; after all, pretty much everything that [Einstein] came up with was based on thought experiments. But when a thought experiment turns into a real ...

Does anyone know of an app for simple physics experiments like Newton, but that'd allow measurement of free objects colliding? Newton only allows its springs to collide with its balls if the two are ...
