Most of the time, Professor of Physics and Engineering Jay Tang and Ph.D. candidate Thomas Dutta GS research the movement of bacteria in water. But their new study takes fluid mechanics beyond the lab ...

Researchers created a technique to reduce uncertainty in cosmic birefringence measurements, resolving a key phase ambiguity and improving future studies of fundamental physics.

Before rain begins to fall, scientists and engineers can predict where a storm might cause flooding thanks to advanced modeling and digital simulations that help guide billion-dollar decisions ...

A 2006 conference for physicists in the U.S. Virgin Islands that included a trip to Jeffrey Epstein's private island shows how he used his wealth to build relationships with prominent scientists.

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 ...

I N 2025 A GROUP of theoretical physicists studying the behaviour of fundamental particles called gluons hit a brick wall in their calculations. In search of a fresh perspective, the physicists teamed ...

What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental phenomenon.

The possibility that a huge space rock — once deemed the riskiest asteroid ever observed — could hit the moon now appears to ...

At the Earl Monroe New Renaissance Basketball School, Williamson's career and injury history are studied in an ...

Her work explores how new AI technology is infiltrating our lives, shaping the content we consume on social media and affecting the people behind the screens. She graduated from the University of ...

A new kind of laser could pave the way for practical nuclear clocks—devices that measure time with incredible precision by measuring the "ticking" of thorium atoms.
