Scientists have found “strange quarks” that originated as virtual particles that sprang from nothing Quantum physics paints a ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...

Practice projectile motion with fully solved physics problem examples. This video walks through step-by-step solutions to help you understand equations, motion components, and problem-solving ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the solar wind, high-energy particle transport, and galaxy formation. Small-scale ...

Across nearly four decades as a teacher, principal, superintendent, funder, and now leader of a large education nonprofit organization, the experience that most shaped my view of learning wasn’t a ...

The same pulling force that causes “tears” in a glass of wine also shapes embryos. It’s another example of how genes exploit mechanical forces for growth and development. Sip a glass of wine, and you ...

In the 1960s, a group of physicists and historians began a massive project meant to catalogue and record the history of quantum physics. It was called Sources for History of Quantum Physics (SHQP). As ...

If you want to work with radioactive material, a cheap Geiger counter isn’t really what you want. According to [Project 326], you need a gamma ray spectrometer. The video below reviews the Radiacode ...

A team at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, has developed a framework for standardizing alerts generated by cybersecurity systems defending critical ...

A new study reports the first experimental observation of the transverse Thomson effect – a long-hypothesized thermal effect that ties heat, electric current, and magnetic field into one neat result ...

A former employee of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory has accused the research facility of forgoing over 14 years of important safety inspections for “many” of the lab’s pressure systems and ...

The Mimic team requested a simple example demonstrating contact-rich grasping of a hand asset grasping an object. This can be used as a reference example for setting up similar types of workflows and ...
