Just a few hundred feet from where we are sitting is a large metal chamber devoid of air and draped with the wires needed to control the instruments inside. A beam of particles passes through the ...

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 ...

Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest discoveries in modern physics — a phenomenon where two particles behave as a single object, even across vast distances. Einstein rejected it, calling it ...
