We are used to heat flowing from hot objects to cool ones, and never the other way round, but now researchers have found it is possible to pull off this trick in the strange realm of quantum mechanics ...

Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at ...

Learn how to make energy calculations simple with a real-world example: mowing a lawn! This video demonstrates how to apply physics concepts of work, energy, and power to everyday tasks, showing step ...

Master inclined plane problems using the work-energy method in this detailed physics lesson! This video demonstrates how to apply the principles of work and energy to calculate velocities, forces, and ...

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can ...

OpenAI's GPT-5.2 has derived a new formula explaining gluon scattering processes that physicist Nima Arkani-Hamed ...

Lafayette-based Quantum Research Sciences develops software for quantum computers so large they fill up a room, just like the ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

If you've ever watched a glass blower at work, you've seen a material behaving in a very special way. As it cools, the viscosity of molten glass increases steadily but gradually, allowing it to be ...
