Everyone knows billiards as the default example for teaching classical dynamics, but is ten-pin bowling a better choice, especially for getting kids interested? My wife (who is a primary school ...

Researchers working on the Antihydrogen trap (ATRAP) experiment at CERN have made the first single-particle measurement of the magnetic moment of the antiproton. Achieved with an uncertainty of 4.4 ...

Incompatible moments A spinning charge (left) acts like a loop of current to produce a magnetic dipole moment (blue arrow). Distorting the electron's charge distribution (middle) produces an electric ...

The muon storage ring at Fermilab. Credit: Reidar Hahn/Wikimedia Commons Magnetic moment is an intrinsic property of a particle with spin, arising from interaction between the particle and a magnet or ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE physics students studying moments, moments and balanced objects, levers and gears. If you struggled with the quiz, don't panic - we've got you! You can ...

In the search for new physics, experiments based on high-energy collisions inside massive atom smashers are coming up empty-handed. So physicists are putting their faith in more-precise methods: less ...

In 2015, physics is standing on a bridge between the old world and the new. The good ol’ Standard Model, a set of equations that explains much, but lucky for us not *all*, of the physical workings of ...

There’s no need to show off – but yes. The geekiest science has climbed back into the ten most popular A-levels for the first time since 2002 – and applications for university physics courses are up ...
