Astronomers have long struggled to capture the true nature of stellar nova explosions. However, thanks to cutting-edge ...

More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

Define the Standard Model gauge group to be S ( U ( 2) × U ( 3)), the subgroup of SU ( 5) consisting of block diagonal matrices with a 2 × 2 block and then a 3 × 3 block. (This is isomorphic to the ...

Simple bumper dings now require expensive sensor recalibration. The automotive past is often recalled fondly. A fender bender was a nuisance, certainly, but the required repair was relatively ...

A new children’s book, titled Simple Machines Made Simple, wants to demystify mechanical engineering for kids as young as a year old. It recently beat its Kickstarter goal by 700%—raising more than ...

In this video, I walk you through a super fun and simple balloon rocket experiment that you can set up in any classroom or at home. Using yarn, a straw, tape, and a balloon, I demonstrate each step so ...

Floquet engineering: The periodic driving field contains a leading order contribution (left) and a correction term (centre). It generates the target Floquet Hamiltonian (right) that supports ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story. A new paper uses a simplified model to prove that gravity can be unified between quantum and standard physics. The simpler model still meets the established ...

Researchers unlock the mystery of bound states in the continuum using compact mechanical systems. A joint research team from POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) and Jeonbuk National ...
