America's most productive oil patch is now grappling with a hidden threat building beneath its rigs and pump jacks. As ...

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...

This video explores the question of why the sky is dark, examining key concepts such as the infinite nature of the Universe and Olber’s Paradox. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:53 Why is the sky dark?

How is it that quantum physics governs the very smallest things in the universe, yet classical, Newtonian rules describe the movements of everything else, from people to planets? In the second of two ...

If the sides of the right-angled triangle are labelled 𝑎, 𝑏 and 𝑐 then Pythagoras' theorem can be written as the formula 𝑎² + 𝑏² = 𝑐². Pythagoras' theorem can be used to find the length of line ...

Moon-Ho Jo, director of the IBS Center for Van der Waals Quantum Solids in Korea, tells Physics World how breakthroughs in basic science will accelerate the translation of 2D materials and their novel ...

Ramanujan’s elegant formulas for calculating pi, developed more than a century ago, have unexpectedly resurfaced at the heart of modern physics. Researchers at IISc discovered that the same ...

In an era of rapid technological advancement and shifting viewer expectations, the world of animation continues to thrive, adapt, and transform. While 3D animation has taken center stage in many ...

Quantum deviations Large masses such as a galaxy curve space–time and objects move along geodesics within this curvature. If space–time itself has quantum properties, then deviations arise between a ...
