Spintronics devices will be key to realizing faster and more energy-efficient computers. To give us a better understanding of ...

Quantum computing promises to solve the seemingly unsolvable in fields such as physics, medicine, cryptography and more.

One physics question went from classroom chatter to an airborne experiment with a helicopter as the test lab. Athletics fans demand apology after prominent site's 'distasteful' post about Gout Gout ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging ...

Surprisingly, they found that only around 10% of a quake’s energy causes the physical shaking most people associate with ...

But when he pitched the idea to his teenage son, Whiteson realized that approach was a bit boring and decided to spice things up using an alien landing. At the heart of the book is a new equation for ...

Like its theme, “digestion,” the 35th Ig Nobel prizes will make you laugh and think hard to digest the meaning of all the ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

Graphene is stronger than steel and a better conductor that copper, making the two-dimensional material of particular ...

At just 25, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin applied quantum physics to a treasure trove of astronomical observations to show that stars are mostly hydrogen and helium.

Researchers at UBC have found a way to mimic the elusive Schwinger effect using superfluid helium, where vortex pairs appear ...
