A magnetic flow meter relies on Faraday's Law of Induction to measure the flow of a fluid. Magnets outside the pipe create a ...

A new computational method now makes it possible to calculate the forces between large molecules with unprecedented accuracy.

Driving a spacecraft around a planet isn’t anything like driving on a planet. A physicist explains orbital navigation.

The paper, recently published in the journal PNAS, found that roundworms can use static electricity to leap up to 25 times ...

Faster medical breakthroughs? More efficient and personalized healthcare? Better, sturdier manufacturing materials? All of ...

It took a long time for zero to be recognised as a number at all, let alone one of the most powerful ones – but now it’s ...

This Star Trek concept ignited a dream that humans could one day travel faster than the speed of light. Now physicists are ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work showing how bizarre ...

For a recent paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers investigated the odd physics of a ...

Dark matter has two central properties: it has mass like regular matter, and unlike regular matter, it reacts weakly or not at all with light. Neutrinos satisfy these two criteria, but neutrinos move ...

A new scientific theory on solar tide effects has dramatically improved the accuracy of calculating how much faster clocks ...

The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may be hiding in a quantum recipe to cook up black holes. That's the suggestion of new research that adds quantum corrections to ...
