Researchers have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner Heisenberg. The basis for the successful ...

Cutting-edge technology meets the Kansas cow farm in a collaboration between physicists and agriculture scientists.

For decades, scientists believed that lead-208, a "doubly magic" and highly stable atomic nucleus, was perfectly spherical.

Roland Winston, SB’56, SM’57, PhD’63—a pioneer in solar energy, engineering, and physics—died Feb. 8 at his home in ...

Plasma physics is the study of a state of matter comprising charged particles. Plasmas are usually created by heating a gas until the electrons become detached from their parent atom or molecule.

Light was long considered to be a wave, exhibiting the phenomenon of interference in which ripples like those in water waves ...

Globular springtails (Dicyrtomina minuta) are small bugs about five millimetres long that can be seen crawling through leaf litter and garden soil. While they do not have wings and cannot fly, they ...

National Science Day honors Dr. C.V. Raman’s groundbreaking discovery, the Raman Effect, which revolutionized the study of light and matter.

But Institute Professor and 2024 Nobel winner Daron Acemoglu has some insights. Despite some predictions that AI will double US GDP growth, Acemoglu expects it to increase GDP by 1.1% to 1.6% over ...

Yet, for all its long-standing ubiquity, the physics behind knitting remains surprisingly elusive. "Knitting is one of those weird, seemingly simple but deceptively complex things we take for ...

ABSTRACT: Quantum entanglement is a bizarre, counterintuitive phenomenon which shows that entangled subatomic particles remain related even when they are far apart, which was described by Einstein as ...
