Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only under specific conditions that researchers have struggled for decades to ...

Neutrinos are extremely lightweight and electrically neutral particles that rarely interact with ordinary matter. Due to ...

Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...

Discover the impressive power of a miniature hydraulic press in this hands-on experiment. Watch as various fruits and a raw egg are compressed, then learn step-by-step how to build your own hydraulic ...

Many factors can shape your relationship with subjects at school. For example, did you get a teacher you couldn’t connect with, or a pro who could make even the most boring topic exciting? What about ...

In his latest video, a self-professed “science nerd” and amateur high-energy physicist shows us what happens when you give a ...

Purdue University’s School of Health Sciences has completed the installation of the first Alpha-E ...

Hollywood has never been known for its strict adherence to science. In most blockbusters the laws of physics are treated more like polite suggestions than hard rules.

An overview of Pei Zhong’s work over the past several decades reveals how fundamental engineering research — often done far from the clinic — plays a critical role in shaping safer, more effective ...

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

Garching, in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Randolf Pohl from the Institute for Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), have successfully conducted experiments on hydrogen atoms which ...

A new University of Mississippi study shows that some sound waves don't just move forward—they also move slightly to the side. Understanding this movement could help researchers develop more precise ...
