Nearly every object we interact with in our lives has a mass, but where does this mass come from? Modern physics says matter ...

Buried deep below the American Midwest, a new kind of observatory is taking shape that aims to watch some of the most elusive particles in the universe as they stream straight through Earth. The Deep ...

By feeding students the mysteries and wonder of modern physics, Don Lincoln hopes to ‘blow their minds.’ ...

Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to Albert Einstein’s instincts about reality. By stripping classic thought ...

For the first time, physicists have used lasers to deep-freeze antimatter. In a new experiment, an ultraviolet laser quelled the thermal jitters of antihydrogen atoms, chilling the antiatoms to just ...

Argonne’s solenoid facility provides powerful magnetic fields for testing. A limiting factor in modern physics experiments is the precision at which scientists can measure important values, such as ...
