Engineers and scientists can simulate machines or physics experiments.

FORBES: Instagram Applications vs. Gramophone Regulations

Particle-physics experiments are particularly notorious in this respect.

ECONOMIST: The scientific method

On the main table I noticed what looked like the ragtag remains of some Physics 101 lab experiments: rusted silver balls on different inclines, distressed balloons, a stained funnel, a markered flask, a calcium-speckled Bunsen burner, iron filings and sandpaper, large magnets, and batteries that could have been bought from a Chinese immigrant on the subway.

NEWYORKER: The Region of Unlikeness

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider are currently embarking on a number of very exciting experiments that go to some of the fundamental aspects of physics.

FORBES: Want to Find the Higgs Boson? There's an App For That.

The Global Microscience Experiment Project is a hands-on science education project that gives primary and secondary school students ( in some countries university students as well) the opportunity to conduct practical work in physics, chemistry and biology, using kits that come with booklets describing possible scientific experiments.

UNESCO: SERVICE DE PRESSE

Studies claiming a link between cell phone use and brain tumors and experiments pointing to pathologic effects are much more convincing than arguments based on basic physics.
