Physics
Let there be light, sound, fluids and quantum weirdness
We love physics in all its forms, from new research on mind-bending concepts like quantum weirdness and spooky action at a distance to the science of sounds and fluids to all the forces that push, pull, stick and slip. Here we tackle the macroscopic, the subatomic, the strange, the cool, the groundbreaking and the obscure.
The physics of tumbling fibers may be useful for applications from paper manufacturing to the study of plankton in the ocean.
The technique could help scientists better understand why certain materials have the properties they do.
Researchers found that adding a full twist made it possible to break spaghetti in half.
Theoretical physicists come up with a new way to analyze the firework of signals coming from particle collision experiments.
Physicists speculate that decaying neutrons may be producing particles unknown to science that make up the elusive dark matter.
Scientists have just found out that zinc sulfide, a relatively common semiconductor material, becomes pliable when kept in the dark.
Physicists are looking inside atoms on Earth to learn more about mysterious neutron stars thousands of light-years away.
Researchers use machine learning to solve the long standing “sign problem” in computational physics.
Theorists propose a new way to find new particles in the data from the Large Hadron Collider.
Scientists describe a physical system that is both below “absolute zero” and above “absolute hot” at the same time.
Researchers provide a blueprint for a tiny device that can control the direction of light.
