A new calculation helps narrow down the mass of the W boson, one of the heaviest fundamental particles in the universe ...

The concept of entanglement links far-flung particles. That relationship can prove that someone is in the location they claim ...

When tectonic plates move, they rarely do so smoothly. Sometimes they slide almost imperceptibly; at other times, stress is ...

In 1916, only a year after Albert Einstein had published his general theory of relativity, Karl Schwarzschild used mathematical calculations to show this: If sufficient mass could be placed into an ...

With performance three times better than copper’s, this new material could substantially improve heat management of ...

When engineers at Sumitomo Riko needed to speed up the design cycle for automotive rubber and polymer components, they turned ...

For years, Rutgers physicist David Shih solved Rubik's Cubes with his children, twisting the colorful squares until the ...

Drinking a Tito's Vodka Moscow Mule, for science.

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

The muon collider was once dismissed as impossible, but is now gaining steam as the successor to the Large Hadron Collider.

Many-body physics is the study of large ensembles of interacting particles and their collective behaviour. These systems are notoriously difficult to simulate, yet they underpin phenomena such as ...
