Physics fans are a lot like surfers. Both think waves are really fun. For surfers, it’s all about having a good time. For physicists, it’s about understanding some of nature’s most important physical ...

Introduction Have you ever noticed seagulls bobbing up and down on the ocean? You might have also seen surfers catch a wave that takes them to shore. Maybe you have floated on a lake, going up and ...

The program explores the nature of mechanical waves, questioning how they move and what creates them. It demonstrates wave motion through various experiments, including using a slinky and a wave ...

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 ...

Scientists review research on gravitational wave detectors as a historical example of quantum technologies and examine the fundamental research on the connection between quantum physics and gravity.

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

Antimatter isn't just made of antiparticles, it's also made of waves. Now we know that this holds true even at the level of a single antimatter particle. Physicists have known for a long time that ...

Gravitational waves are the last great prediction of general relativity to be directly observed. According to Einstein's theory of gravity, a mass in motion creates ripples in space and time. Ripples ...
