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 ...

In a new breakthrough, researchers have used a novel technique to confirm a previously undetected physics phenomenon that could be used to improve data storage in the next generation of computer ...

Prof. Michael Murrell's group (lead author Zachary Gao Sun, graduate student in physics) in collaboration with Prof. Garegin Papoian's group from the University of Maryland at College Park has found ...

Secondary particle tracks recorded during a proton collision inside the ATLAS detector, indicating the presence of a single Higgs boson in the event. Since the launch of the Large Hadron Collider, ...

The formation of periodic structures such as optical lattices gives access to the investigation of various complex phenomena in solid-state physics, condensed matter, and photonics, among others. In ...

In a breakthrough that challenges conventional physics, scientists have confirmed the existence of “second sound” — a phenomenon where heat travels as a wave rather than dispersing slowly, as it does ...

Nobel Committee member Göran Johansson explains elements of quantum mechanics during a press conference to announce the winners of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics on October 7 in Stockholm. Christine ...

A never-before-observed phenomenon in quantum physics reportedly bears a striking resemblance to a world-famous work by Vincent van Gogh. Physicists from Osaka Metropolitan University and the Korea ...

Abby Ledford worked on a fluid dynamics research project under the supervision of Dr. Patrick Bunton, head of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UNG. Amanda Ash and Jessica Hamilton presented ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

Complexity science – which describes phenomena such as collective and emergent behaviour – is the focus of a new centre where researchers are examining everything from the spread of influenza to what ...
