People who buy electric cars don't understand a lot about energy generation. They may believe that solar panels and wind are providing the energy, but even after $3 trillion in subsidies, those have…

A recently published paper in Nature Physics, “Time-reversal-based quantum metrology with many-body entangled states”, finds that a new technique to measure atomic vibrations can improve the…

The Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research recently published a study regarding the relationship between spectral emissivity and the temperatures of three different crystal-bearing basalts.…

A half-mile-long stretch of tunnel in California is now colder than most of the universe. It contains a new superconducting particle accelerator, part of an upgrade project to the Linac Coherent…

There are three dimensions in the known universe. Fiction authors like to call time a dimension but it really isn't, it is just a way to look at the other three. Even if you don't remember what you…

Researchers at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) have realized the superconducting analogue to the semiconducting diode, the Josephson diode. Demonstrated with magnetic-field-free and…

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has changed its guidelines about masks and respirators a number of times over the past two years and gave its most recent update on Jan. 14, 2022. The…

Several international airlines recently canceled flights into certain US airports over concerns the rollout of 5G mobile communication technology could interfere with some planes’ equipment. After…

Many physics students would tell you immediately off the bat what Newton's Third Law of Motion states. For those who have forgotten our high school physics, NASA informs us that the third law of…

Polyurethane is a plastic material used as foam for medical applications, like tubes for intravenous catheters, mattresses, as packaging material, as construction foam and much more. Researchers from…
