The science of motion can often surprise you - and an inertia experiment could have the opposite results from what you think!

A team of physicists has experimentally confirmed a long-predicted sequence of exotic magnetic phases in an atomically thin ...

Ezio Todesco charts the future of high-field dipole magnets – a technology set to advance the boundaries of high-energy physics and the societal applications of superconductivity.

Michael S Turner argues that the next breakthrough in particle physics and cosmology may be just around the corner.

She laid much of the theoretical groundwork for the atomic bomb, although she did not participate directly in its production.

Taking inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci’s studies of friction, the ‘sneaker squeak’ question cuts to a deep problem in physics.

The team’s theoretical calculations were largely supported by the results, and showed it’s all about the viscosity. Water reached the 90 percent mark in only a few seconds. Meanwhile, cold maple syrup ...

Nature runs on physics, chemistry, and a little evolutionary stubbornness. Some animals carry abilities that sound like ...

Champaign Central physics teacher Darren Plattner will retire at the end of the year after 33 years at the school.

Fluids moving through pipes lose energy to friction along the walls. Collisions, defects, and random motion steadily break ...

For years, the Prairie Pothole Region has bothered me in a very specific way. On a map, it looks like a normal landscape: ...
