Like great art, great thought experiments have implications unintended by their creators. Take philosopher John Searle’s Chinese room experiment. Searle concocted it to convince us that computers ...

Are the mysteries of quantum mechanics finally starting to crack, or are we just getting better at asking sharper questions? Since the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics honored experiments on quantum ...

Out of order: quantum mechanics defies causal order. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Sam72) An experiment has confirmed that quantum mechanics allows events to occur with no definite causal order. The work ...

The Engineering Mechanics Laboratory is primarily dedicated to support the freshmen Mechanical Engineering courses. The laboratory supports experiments related to Newtonian mechanics from a ...

The Advanced Mechanics Lab is an academic teaching space for Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology Experimental Methods courses. The Lab includes four non-magnetic frame assemblies, with ...

The double-slit experiment is the best demonstration of quantum weirdness, in which electrons simultaneously act like particles and waves and seemingly violate basic laws of physics. Now we’re trying ...

Gravity is a bit of an enigma. We know how it works, but not really what causes it. In 1915, Einstein’s famous Theory of Relativity demonstrated that gravitational attraction is due to the warping of ...

Alessandro Fedrizzi receives funding from UK Research & Innovation (UKRI). Proietti, Massimiliano works for Heriot-Watt university. Alternative facts are spreading like a virus across society. Now it ...
