Using the work of 18th-century mathematician Leonhard Euler, scientists have now cracked the great question of physics - and ...

In a context marked by the precariousness of working conditions and the proliferation of intermittent, invisible and unpaid ...

Explore the key moments in the history of quantum theory, from the early ideas of Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg to the discovery of phenomena like superposition and entanglement – and today’s ...

Hooper has been studying the physics of bowling for several years, including an analysis of the 2017 Weber Cup, as well as ...

Basic physics quickly gets messy in an irregular world, scientists discover in new research on the old problem of a ball ...

In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped into it. A recent experiment using the U.S. Department of Energy’s Jefferson Lab ...

After netting the world’s highest-paying science award, preeminent theoretical physicist Gerard ’t Hooft reflects on his ...

“We found that when a liquid jet or droplet train impacts a rigid surface below a certain critical impinging angle, almost no ...

For over a century, men's public restrooms worldwide have featured essentially the same urinal design. Despite their ...

Protons minimize energy by forming pairs with opposite spin. Same for neutrons. Each pair acts like a particle in its own right. So nuclei act very differently depending on whether they have an even ...

Physicists have proposed a new model of space-time that may provide the 'first observational evidence supporting string ...

Twisted moiré photonic crystals—an advanced type of optical metamaterial—have shown enormous potential in the race to ...
