A dead satellite can become a high-speed hazard in an orbit that is already packed with working spacecraft. That risk is why ...

Electricity is not a policy construct. It is physics – and the physics have not changed since Michael Faraday and the steam ...

Physics experiments have changed the world irrevocably, altering our reality and enabling us to take gigantic leaps in technology. From ancient times to now, here's a look at some of the greatest ...

Neutrinos may be nearly invisible, but they play a starring role in the Universe. Long-standing anomalies had hinted at a ...

High-precision measurements from the KATRIN experiment strongly limit the existence of light sterile neutrinos and narrow the search for new physics. Neutrinos are extremely difficult to detect, yet ...

A weird phenomenon in which electricity flows like water was spotted in a nanowire made of "strange metal" — a bizarre metal phase that has stumped physicists for 40 years. When you purchase through ...

Discover how to create a simple thermal motor using an aluminum can and two small DC motors. This step-by-step tutorial demonstrates each stage of building a DIY thermal engine that transforms heat ...

A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...
