“Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.” – Niels Bohr. This seemingly paradoxical statement, which by any measure would appear to provide evidence against the ...

The film demonstrates an experiment using an apparatus to observe the behavior of electrons in a uniform magnetic field. It explains how electrons are accelerated by an electron gun and then deflected ...

This article is an extended version of the article “The double-slit experiment” that appeared in the September 2002 issue of Physics World (p15). It has been further extended to include three letters ...

For the first time, a research team has successfully produced one of the most neutron-rich isotopes, hydrogen-6, in an electron scattering experiment. The experiment at the spectrometer facility at ...

Measuring up: an electron scattering experiment yields a small proton radius. (Courtesy: Jefferson Lab) For nearly a decade the size of the particle that makes up the bulk of the universe’s visible ...

AMES, Iowa – Mayly Sanchez clicked to a presentation slide showing the telltale track of an electron neutrino racing through the 14,000-ton Far Detector of the NOvA Neutrino Experiment. Since that ...

Physicists are part of the huge NOvA Neutrino Experiment that just published two articles about the first experimental observations of muon neutrinos changing to electron neutrinos. The discovery ...
