In physics, the classical "Hall effect," discovered in the late 19th century, describes how a transverse voltage is generated ...

Navy pilot Lt. Cmdr. Alex Dietrich was one of several Navy personnel to encounter a "Tic-Tac" UFO while stationed on the USS ...

Accurately modeling irregularly-shaped particles isn’t easy, but a new study found a way to improve a century-old idea.

• Physics departments can support transfer students in several ways, such as creating transfer programs with local two-year colleges and ensuring transfer students meet with an advisor during their ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of physics. Despite enormous progress in cosmology and particle physics, we still ...

A persistent asymmetry in fusion exhaust has challenged researchers for years. New simulations show that plasma core rotation, working together with cross-field drifts, determines where particles land ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

Like many scientists, theoretical physicist Andrew Strominger was unimpressed with early attempts at probing ChatGPT, receiving clever-sounding answers that didn't stand up to scrutiny. So he was ...

Probability underpins AI, cryptography and statistics. However, as the philosopher Bertrand Russell said, “Probability is the ...

Casimir cavities are mysterious spaces between microscopic metal plates in a vacuum. Areas of diminished energy between the plates cause them to push toward each other, as if trying to fill the ...

What’s the secret to landing a quadruple lutz, or speeding your death spiral? A figure skating researcher weighs in.
