The CDF Collaboration at Fermilab has confirmed that a subatomic particle called the Bs meson flips between matter and antimatter about 3 trillion times per second, a measurement so precise it ...

Imagine a "smart fluid" whose internal structure can be rearranged just by changing temperature. In a new study published in Matter, researchers report a way to overcome a long-standing limitation in ...

The idea of a “perfect spiral” in football is deeply ingrained in how fans judge elite quarterbacks — but physics tells a different story. Researchers using wind-tunnel tests, high-speed cameras, and ...

From “research isn’t for me” to designing gamma-ray detectors and studying in Japan—Lincoln Potts turned one small yes into a ...

A physicist proposes that the universe is not empty space, but is a viscous fluid, fueling the expansion and contraction we see.

Hydrogen bubbles sometimes stick on cathodes and oscillate before being released, reducing the efficiency of water splitting.

William Gilpin in physics and Devleena Samanta in chemistry each were selected for the honor.

Gears have been around for thousands of years, with the first records dating back to 3000 BC. While they have advanced over ...

The team used an AI method known as equation discovery to develop a model to simulate the interactions between small eddies—circular, vortex-like currents—and large-scale ones. These interactions are ...

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in ...
