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 ...

Several massive multimillion dollar experiments should soon reveal more about the nature of these ghostly particles ...

Champaign Central physics teacher Darren Plattner will retire at the end of the year after 33 years at the school.

Colorado State University will host its annual Little Shop of Physics Open House on March 1. The event features over 300 hands-on science experiments for all ages at the Lory Student Center. More than ...
