Energy efficiency in physics is not measured the way most people think about it. Instead of asking how much heat a process ...

In January I wrote a piece titled “5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know.” Lots of you weighed in with your own nominations, and there were plenty of good suggestions. So I’ve decided to do a ...

Engineers have made a breakthrough in an 80-year-old quandary in quantum physics, paving the way for the development of new materials that could make electronic devices smaller and cars more energy ...

The first semester of an undergraduate physics course invariably spends a lot of time on two big ideas: The momentum principle and the work energy principle. Both deal with forces acting on an object, ...

Developing a unified theory for liquid behaviour has long been a challenge due to the complex interactions between particles and the constantly changing dynamic disorder within liquids. Current ...
