Physics is supposed to be predictable. Drop a ball, and gravity pulls it down. Heat water, and it boils. Light travels in straight lines. Yet throughout history, scientists have encountered ...
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 ...
At first glance, some scientific research can seem, well, impractical. When physicists began exploring the strange, subatomic world of quantum mechanics a century ago, they weren't trying to build ...

Simple science experiment turns into an unexpected disaster
This classic physics experiment involving a swinging bowling ball turns into a painful and hilariously dramatic lesson in ...
A tool called AI-Newton can derive scientific laws from raw data, but is some way from developing human-like reasoning. Most artificial-intelligence (AI) models can reliably identify patterns in data ...
