That’s exactly what happened in 1900 at the International Congress of Mathematicians at Sorbonne University in Paris.

Materials scientists are measuring the rolling friction of tiny, micrometer-sized particles. These measurements permit them to better understand everyday products such as concrete.

ETH Zurich scientists measure rolling friction in micrometer-sized particles, enhancing understanding of suspensions in ...

Mathematicians have finally succeeded in unifying the laws of physics that govern the motions of particles at different scales. Their efforts resolve a question set by mathematician David Hilbert ...

Rate-and-state laws predict that there is no static friction coefficient and that shear movement occurs under all shear forces—so, for example, even the slightest pushing of a heavy book with ...

How does physics work today? How did we end up with this system? How could we imagine physics in the future? On 29 September 1954, the European Organization for Nuclear Research came formally into ...

Is Ranch Dressing a Liquid or a Solid? Imagine you’re sitting down for dinner. You pick up a bottle of ranch dressing, flip it upside down, and expect it to pour onto your plate. But nothing happens.
