The ice in a domestic freezer is remarkably different from the single crystals that form in snow clouds, or even those formed ...

In this video, we derive the catenary curve using physics and calculus, explaining how a hanging cable reaches equilibrium under gravity. Step-by-step reasoning connects forces, differential equations ...

Quantum dynamics—the study of how particles behave and interact in a quantum system—has long fascinated physicists due to its puzzling and sometimes bizarre behaviors. Unlike classical systems, where ...

How it works: the wave in the foreground is an illustration of the phase of an out-of-equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensate in a 1D cavity, which belongs to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class.
