The ‘Wind Tunnel’, yes, you read that right, at IIT Delhi is often referred to by students as a real-life example of Bernoulli’s Principle, a concept they usually study in physics textbooks.
Due to climate change, plants' pollination season has been growing longer and longer. As a result, people are exposed to allergens for extended periods each year, raising a major public health concern ...
No two snowflakes may be the same, but models that fail to take these variations into consideration often fall short when calculating the way snow accumulates on roofs. In Physics of Fluids, ...
In Physics of Fluids, researchers model the way snow gathers on a roof based on snowflake size and distribution. The model considers how turbulence can affect recently landed snow and how wind can ...
In Physics of Fluids, researchers develop a computational model of outdoor airflow through trees to study how a tree’s geometry affects the dispersion of its airborne pollen grains. They modeled the ...
The world’s largest offshore wind farm, the Dogger Bank Wind Farm, started producing electricity in 2023. It is now seeing its phase B entering the commercial stage in early 2026, with phase C to ...
RWE said it brought 15 new wind, solar and battery projects online across the United States in 2025, including a 243-megawatt ...
An interstellar comet can glow in X-rays even while remaining hundreds of millions of kilometers away. That is what makes 3I/ATLAS unusually valuable to astronomers. The object, only the third known ...
When English author J.R.R. Tolkien crafted his fantasy world Middle-earth, he argued storytellers are essentially “sub-creators” – they build fictional realms with internally consistent laws. For a ...
Sailing directly into the wind sounds impossible, yet sailors have done it for centuries. This breaks down the physics of sails, lift, keels, and tacking that allows ships to move forward even when ...
Mulugeta Bekele is almost single-handedly responsible for having kept Ethiopian physics going in the 1970s and 1980s despite being imprisoned and tortured by the Ethiopian military. Robert P Crease ...
It’s a homecoming to rock your world. A 1,323-pound spacecraft is expected to rip through Earth’s atmosphere Tuesday night, warns NASA of the incoming juggernaut. “The U.S. Space Force predicted that ...
