The Schrödinger equation rewrote the rules of matter and forever changed the field of chemistry. Donald Truhlar, a chemist at the University of Minnesota, calls it the “greatest advance of the 20th ...

RIT biomedical engineering researcher receives an NSF CAREER Award to assess how blood flow during physical activity may reduce the risk of aneurysm ...

A team of EPFL researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account ...

Imagine sprinting barefoot across a searing hot parking lot in midsummer. The ground blazes. The light dazzles and blinds ...

The short answer is thrilling. On the biggest tracks, a modern NASCAR Cup Series car can hit speeds upwards of 200 mph (321 km/h).

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 ...

A mathematical equivalent of a microscope with variable resolution has shed light on why some atoms are exceptionally stable, ...

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun, and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all 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 ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows that light’s polarization and entanglement obey a simple identity – written ...

Ramanujan’s elegant formulas for calculating pi, developed more than a century ago, have unexpectedly resurfaced at the heart of modern physics. Researchers at IISc discovered that the same ...
