All Physics Experiments

Millikan received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1923

He also conducted an expedition to observe the solar eclipse of 29 May 1919 on the Island of Pr

was an attempt to measure the motion of the Earth relative to the luminiferous aether, a supposed medium permeating space that was thought to be the carrier of light waves

was the first experiment to measure the force of gravity between masses in the laboratory and the first to yield accurate values for the gravitational constant

was a particle and nuclear physics experiment conducted in 1956 by the Chinese-American physicist Chien-Shiung Wu in collaboration with the Low Temperature Group of the US Nati

This type of experiment was first described by Thomas Young in 1801 when making his case for the wave behavior of visible light.

After a 40-year search, a subatomic particle with the expected properties was discovered in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland.

The accidental discovery of the CMB in 1964 by the American radio astronomers Arno Allan Penzias and Robert Woodrow Wilson was the culmination of work initiated in the 1940s.

In the history of science, the mechanical equivalent of heat states that motion and heat are mutually interchangeable and that in every case, a given amount of work would generate the same amount of heat, provided the work done is totally converted to heat energy.
