A researcher at the Department of Physics at Tohoku University has uncovered a surprising quantum phenomenon hidden inside ordinary crystals: the strength of interactions between electrons and lattice ...

Researchers in the Department of Theoretical Physics at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, have ...

The model we have for understanding the universe’s fundamental particles is a bit like a gearbox: one tiny change to any one single particles’ properties throws off the mechanics of the other ...

Researchers from TUM, working at CERN, have made a groundbreaking discovery that reveals how deuterons are formed. Another long-standing question in particle physics has been answered. Scientists ...

Pore-scale mechanisms of drag reduction by micro-blowing have rarely been explored. A direct numerical simulation (DNS) study ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

I'm teaching introductory Newtonian mechanics again this term, and as always I find myself fascinated by bits of the subject that my students are largely indifferent to. This week, that collided with ...

Dark matter, the invisible glue that outweighs normal matter in the cosmos, is starting to look less like a passive backdrop and more like a player with its own rules. As astronomers push their ...

DEEP in a disused zinc mine in Japan, 50,000 tonnes of purified water held in a vast cylindrical stainless-steel tank are quietly killing theories long cherished by physicists. Since 1996, the ...

Some of the other blog sites have talked about physics vs. chemistry. It seems this started with The experimental Error blog. Tom at Swans on Tea added a very ...
