(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 ...

The way physicists talk about light from different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum can be very confusing, but it's rooted in the way we measure these things.

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 ...

New measurements of a tiny particle deepen a big mystery in physics August 10, 2023 More than 1 year ago 7 min Summary ...

This may not sound like much, but this single measurement tells scientists that their theory about what is called the standard model of particle physics is incomplete – and has to be rethought.

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 ...

Muon g-2 doubles down with latest measurement, explores uncharted territory in search of new physics Date: August 10, 2023 Source: DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory Summary: Scientists ...

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.

KKR’s Brahm sees opportunities in the fragmentation of the testing and measurement industry. Industrial Physics is a “very attractive” business to use as a platform to consolidate the sector.

The Fermilab Muon Measurement May or May Not Point to New Physics, But ... It was important either way, because the experiment that generated it was breathtakingly precise ...

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 ...
