Like great art, great thought experiments have implications unintended by their creators. Take philosopher John Searle’s Chinese room experiment. Searle concocted it to convince us that computers ...
The Engineering Mechanics Laboratory is primarily dedicated to support the freshmen Mechanical Engineering courses. The laboratory supports experiments related to Newtonian mechanics from a ...
Are the mysteries of quantum mechanics finally starting to crack, or are we just getting better at asking sharper questions? Since the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics honored experiments on quantum ...
The Advanced Mechanics Lab is an academic teaching space for Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology Experimental Methods courses. The Lab includes four non-magnetic frame assemblies, with ...
The double-slit experiment is the best demonstration of quantum weirdness, in which electrons simultaneously act like particles and waves and seemingly violate basic laws of physics. Now we’re trying ...
A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...
Clauser was a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley from 1969 to 1975. He conducted this research in the early 1970s with the late ...
