Plasma is the "fourth state of matter" alongside solids, liquids, and gases. When a neutral gas is superheated, some of its ...

When applying the Work-Energy Principle, it’s crucial to remember two often-overlooked ideas that can affect your results. Understanding how non-conservative forces and changes in potential energy ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a ...

A decade in the making, this upgraded detector will explore the properties of the quark-gluon plasma that formed a millionth ...

Last year, we reported on an exciting hint of new physics in the first data analysis results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)—namely that the dark energy, rather than being ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...

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, ...

In the Universe, thermonuclear fusion is a common reaction: it is the source of energy for stars. On Earth producing energy ...

Funds will support two collaborations with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and one collaboration with Columbia University ...

Focused laser-like light that covers a wide range of frequencies is highly desirable for many scientific studies and for many ...
