Physics is supposed to be predictable. Drop a ball, and gravity pulls it down. Heat water, and it boils. Light travels in straight lines. Yet throughout history, scientists have encountered ...
Physicists are always searching for new theories to improve our understanding of the universe and resolve big unanswered questions. But there's a problem. How do you search for undiscovered forces or ...
A recent experiment points the way toward making the intense, energetic beams of positrons needed for next-generation electron–positron colliders. An artist’s conception of a detector harvesting ...

Magnetic monopoles are elementary particles with isolated magnetic charges in three dimensions. In other words, they behave as isolated north or south poles of a magnet. Magnetic monopoles have ...
A team of physicists and engineers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory built a twisting fusion reactor known as a stellarator that uses permanent magnets, showcasing a potentially cost-effective ...
APPARATUS FOR MEASURING THE VELOCITY OF THE EARTH'S ROTATION.—Prof. A. Foppl, of the Munich Technical High School, has devised a new gyroscopic apparatus for measuring the angular velocity of the ...
