An overview of Pei Zhong’s work over the past several decades reveals how fundamental engineering research — often done far from the clinic — plays a critical role in shaping safer, more effective ...

What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

The original story “ Physicists build a quantum Newton’s cradle where energy flows without resistance ” is published in The ...

A physicist proposes that consciousness is the fundamental basis of reality, with matter and spacetime emerging from it.

A set of booklets, Big Bang in Physics: 128 Sessions of Physics Courses (Basic Edition), aims to usher school students into the world of science through simple comic stories, and plant the seeds of ...

A team of EPFL researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account the laws of physics—using Newton's third law. Their research is published ...

The icy ballet of stone upon ice makes curling one of the most intriguing sports of the Winter Olympics. But scientists still haven't quite figured out the physics of how they move. For a sport that ...

Long before he earned the nickname the “Quad God,” U.S. men’s figure skating champion and gold medalist Ilia Malinin was part of a University of Delaware biomechanics study that measured jumping ...

There is one physics concept that almost everyone misunderstands, even after hearing it explained a hundred times. The common version sounds logical, but it creates the wrong picture in the brain.

John Martinis is a hardware guy. He prefers the nitty-gritty of doing physics in the lab over the idealised world of textbooks. But you couldn’t write the quantum computing history books without him: ...
