Physicists demonstrate the constancy of the speed of light with unprecedented accuracy

In 1887, one of the most important experiments in the history of physics took place. American scientists Michelson and Morley failed to measure the speed of Earth by comparing the speed of light in ...

Gravity experiments on the kitchen table: why a tiny, tiny measurement may be a big leap forward for physics

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...
