Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...

This week, among a lot of other important findings, we learned that emperor cichlid fish have gaze sensitivity and dislike it ...

We have seen a steady increase in high school physics enrollments since the survey’s inception in 1983, with one prior exception. The 2023-24 survey marks the first time physics enrollments declined ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that ...

A retired US Air Force general vanishes in New Mexico as investigators probe a mysterious UFO themed X account that went silent the same day.

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its ...

President Donald Trump could start flying in a luxury Boeing jet that was donated by the royal family of Qatar as a temporary alternative to Air Force One this summer. "The Air Force remains committed ...

Recent integrative approaches suggest that physics cannot be adequately characterized by magnitude-based distinctions alone, such as those implied by Big-P, little-p, and mini-p physics. While these ...

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Collaboration has made the first measurements of the quantum properties of a family of three “all-charm” tetraquarks that was recently discovered at the Large Hadron ...

How many times have we seen a bikemaker unveil an ambitious concept at EICMA, only to quietly abandon it later as if it never happened? Not Honda this time around. At last year’s EICMA, the Japanese ...
