Explore 25 science experiments that defied the laws of physics, revealing mind-bending phenomena that challenge intuition.

We are going to do a weird experiment with fluorescent lights today by trying to light them up, even though they will not be in a lighting fixture or connected to any electricity. It is a simple ...

A team of physicists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria has now identified what breaks that symmetry: a thin, ...

BMW has spent the better part of a decade trying to convince drivers that its electric future would feel just as engaging as ...

Nuclear fusion energy could become commercially viable by the early 2030s as scientists work to replicate the sun's power, potentially transforming energy.

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn't stay put—it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small ...

Scientists have discovered that applying an electric field to certain ceramics can dramatically redirect how heat moves through them.

Each week on “Watch Mr. Wizard,” Don Herbert used household objects to conduct an easily replicated experiment that ...

Lightning formation and the conditions triggering it have long been shrouded in a cloud of mystery, but new research led by Penn State scientists is lifting the fog. Using mathematical calculations, ...
