No one can question the impact of science on human civilization, and the importance of experimentation in science is equally undeniable. Some experiments confirm what we already know, others suggest a ...
The UA community will get a chance to see the magic behind physics this Friday at an annual show. The UA Physics Department’s Physics Phun Night, held at the Physics and Atmospheric Sciences building ...
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 ...
