A near-100-year-old debate between the theoretical physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr has finally been settled—and not in the former’s favor. A team of physicists in China have realized a ...
Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found evidence against the existence of a "sterile" type of neutrino hypothesized ...
A physics experiment published this year that claimed to measure a single photon in two places at once – and, in the process, discredit the idea of a multiverse – drew pushback from many sceptical ...

A thought experiment that was at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally been made real. Its findings elucidate one of the core mysteries ...
Jennifer L. Holm’s “Outside” and Rebecca Stead’s “The Experiment” both feature well-meaning grown-ups who do everything to protect their kids — and fail. By Gayle Forman Gayle Forman is the author of ...
A Crookes radiometer, despite what many explanations claim, does not work because of radiation pressure. When light strikes the vanes inside the near-vacuum chamber, it heats the vanes, which then ...
In this video I see how fast we can get a radiometer to spin by shining the world's brightest flashlight on it. Then I talk about the real reason the Crookes radiometer spins when you shine light on ...
