Explore 25 science experiments that defied the laws of physics, revealing mind-bending phenomena that challenge intuition.

CERN scientists have transported antimatter by truck for the first time. This breakthrough transformed physics research and ...

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 ...

Neutrinos are some of nature’s most elusive particles. One hundred trillion fly through your body every second, but each one has only a tiny chance of jostling one of your atoms, a consequence of the ...

Tests of quantum weirdness and its potential real-world applications have been recognized with the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics. At some level we are all subject to quantum rules that even Albert ...

For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...

A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical ...

From levitating magnets to mind-bending psychology studies, these ten experiments reveal just how surprising - and mysterious - our world can be. Each one challenges what we think we know about ...

In physics, breakthroughs are rare. Experiments are slow, expensive and often end up refining, rather than rewriting, our understanding of the universe. But what if the only constraint on scientific ...
