A nuclear engineer responds to the discussion about entropy, breaking down what the concept really means in physics and why ...

Scientists at the University of New Hampshire have unleashed artificial intelligence to dramatically speed up the hunt for next-generation magnetic materials. By building a massive, searchable ...

Sarah Adams, program manager for Alternative Computing Paradigms, was honored by the Intelligence and National Security ...

Casimir cavities are mysterious spaces between microscopic metal plates in a vacuum. Areas of diminished energy between the plates cause them to push toward each other, as if trying to fill the ...

The simulations showed that the gravity hole was initially much less pronounced. Between roughly 50 million and 30 million years ago, however, it intensified significantly. This period coincides with ...

The ice sheet may be undergoing thermal convection, resembling a "boiling pot of pasta," according to researchers.

Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.

Scientists kept rats conscious longer by stabilizing brain microtubules, reviving a bold theory that your mind may operate on ...

Rare earth magnets made from neodymium and other elements are a key component of modern electronics and electric motors, ...

Scientists used powerful computer models to show a more stable discrete time crystal. Very simplified toy models help scientists get started, but the real world is far more complex. In this case, more ...

Linfield University physics professor Michael Crosser explains what makes ice slippery, and why different winter Olympic sports prefer different temperatures.
