I am a retired university physics professor who is pleased to see scientifically-backed considerations applied in serious decision-making — especially that impacting water safety and environmental ...

As the Olympics get going in earnest this week, not everyone's attention is focused on the host city, Paris. Surf fans are heading to Tahiti, which is half a world away in French Polynesia. Why? Well, ...

Now, Takahito Iida at the University of Osaka has proposed a new energy-harvesting technology that uses gyroscopic flywheel system that can be tuned to absorb energy efficiently over a broad range of ...

Physicists at NYU have discovered a new type of time crystal—an exotic state of matter whose particles rhythmically “tick” while levitating on sound waves.

Water waves can be used to visualize fundamental concepts, such as spin angular momentum, that arise in relativistic field theory, RIKEN physicists have shown. This will help to provide new insights ...

Commentaries are opinion pieces contributed by readers and newsmakers. VTDigger strives to publish a variety of views from a broad range of Vermonters. Commentaries give voice to community members and ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

A team of European researchers has suggested that the Moon’s orbit could be used as a gigantic detector for gravitational waves – ripples in the very fabric of spacetime itself. These waves, much ...

NEW YORK & STOCKHOLM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Scientists at Applied Physics, an independent group of scientists and engineers who advise companies and governments on science and technology for both ...

Explore the foundations of electromagnetism with a deep dive into Maxwell’s Equations and the wave equation! This video breaks down these fundamental physics concepts, showing how electric and ...

These acoustic waves, which astronomers spotted within a dataset spanning 25 years of observations by both space and ground-based observatories, travel three times faster than predicted by current ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...
