For more than 60 years, Bell's theorem has been the gold standard for demonstrating that quantum mechanics defies the rules ...

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 ...

From guided inquiry to open-ended challenges, physics labs are evolving to help students think like scientists. By focusing on clear goals, experimental design, and data analysis, educators can foster ...

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment will study nature’s most mysterious particle a mile beneath South Dakota’s Black ...

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 ...

A student in an Advanced Placement biology class might dissect a fetal pig to study internal organs and the skeleton. But can a student get the same level of experience from a virtual dissection ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

One study showed that students who took a traditional lab to accompany their science lessons fared no better on the final exam than those who did not. One might assume that a science lab is a place ...
