Physicists in France can watch as a mirror-lined box gradually “decides” how many photons it contains. Their experiment, which uses atoms to count the number of photons in the box without destroying ...

Physics can be daunting for many students, but educators on the Physics Bus are trying to change that. Educators on the big silver bus showcase novel exhibits built out of everyday items, ...

But Luis Jauregui’s work, which might power quantum computers needed for long-range space exploration, also shows how basic ...

The experiment involved infinitesimal particles of matter so slight and evanescent that they survived only a billionth of a billionth of a second. In their place they left still lighter particles that ...

Physics can be intimidating, but educators on the Physics Bus are trying to change that. By making students’ first exposure to physics fun, they hope to spark a curiosity that will last a lifetime.
