Researchers at the University of Innsbruck have shown that quantum sensors can remain highly accurate even in extremely noisy ...

Scientists have predicted new physics governing compression of water under a high-gradient electric field. Physicists found that a high electric field applied to a tiny hole in a graphene membrane ...

Researchers in the Netherlands have shown that it is possible to control the spin of a single electron by using an electric field rather than a magnetic field, as is usually the case. The breakthrough ...

I’ve already made the argument that numerical models (using computer code) should be an integral part of the introductory physics course. But what if you don’t know where to start? Suppose you are ...

Are electric vehicles, with their large battery packs, quietly turning people into human antennas? This question has lingered ...

A new method using a combination of strong and weak electric fields to change nanoparticle speed and direction could improve ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated that quantum light, particularly bright squeezed ...

Spiders don’t have wings, but they can fly across entire oceans on long strands of silk. For more than a century, scientists thought it was the wind that carried them, sometimes as high as a jet ...

Since the invention of pulsed lasers, the ultrafast laser science community has strived for ever broader optical bandwidths, shorter pulse durations, higher pulse energies and improved phase control.

Modern civilization relies on water's incompressibility--it's something we take for granted. Hydraulic systems harness the virtual non-compressibility of fluids like water or oil to multiply ...
