In physics terms, all forms of light are electromagnetic radiation, and can be described in terms of both frequency and wavelength as needed, and also in terms of the energy carried, thanks to Max ...

(via PBS Space Time) The mystery of what happens when we go from a superposition to a definite state is known as the Measurement Problem, and it’s arguably the most mysterious outstanding problem in ...

On Wednesday, a scientific measurement, recorded by this apparatus, was publicly released. This may not sound like much, but this single measurement tells scientists that their theory about what ...

By Hamish Johnston. This morning on BBC Radio 4, the mathematician Roger Penrose, physicist Basil Hiley, and philosopher Simon Saunders had a lively discussion about the “measurement problem in ...

On April 7, the physics world was startled into glorious confusion by two announcements of a new measurement and a new calculation of the magnetic moment of the muon, published in the journals ...

A method for characterizing quantum measurement devices completes the suite of 'tomography techniques', which should enable us to learn all there is to know about a given quantum-physics experiment.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss one of the deepest problems in contemporary physics. It’s called the measurement problem and it emerged from the flurry of activity in the early 20th century that ...

The Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment stopped collecting data last month, and by the end of 2025, it plans to deliver a final result up to twice as precise as Thursday’s measurement, with roughly ...

The standard model of particle physics has stood the test of time for decades, but now a new measurement of a particle called the W boson could indicate a chink in its armour. Close.
