A team at Idaho National Laboratory has developed a surrogate nuclear reactor that uses LEDs to safely simulate neutron-driven reactions, accelerating research and development of ...

Static electricity may seem simple. Students often learn that rubbing a balloon against their hair will cause negatively ...

Animals come in an extraordinary range of body shapes. A starfish looks nothing like an earthworm, a mouse, or a human. Yet even closely related species can appear radically different: corals, ...

Six thousand eight hundred feet below the floor of an active nickel mine in northern Ontario, something has gone extremely cold. Not cold in the way of a walk-in freezer, or a liquid nitrogen tank, or ...

Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize twice with her groundbreaking research on radioactivity. Learn about her achievements, family ...

SCS researchers, including CSD's Guying Lin (shown), have developed a new scene-generation framework that creates physically realistic, simulation-ready 3D scenes from text prompts. PAT3D generates 3D ...

Researchers join Wellcome Leap’s international effort to better understand early biological influences on neurodevelopment.

A quirk of scheduling – or an APS organizer with a dark sense of humour – meant that the two sessions were practically next ...

Should the universe “choose” braneworld, it could mean that your senses (which perceive fewer dimensions) are keeping you from experiencing the full number of dimensions surrounding you. This could ...

We have seen a steady increase in high school physics enrollments since the survey’s inception in 1983, with one prior exception. The 2023-24 survey marks the first time physics enrollments declined ...

Both the idiosyncratic rater effect and quantum physics prove that feedback is more reflective of the provider than the ...

Researchers use supercomputers and artificial intelligence to predict how carbon transforms under extreme heat and pressure, paving the way for revolutionary materials.
