Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...
Humans are one (small) step closer to traveling at faster-than-light speeds.
Tenets of quantum mechanics and special relativity, among other theoretical ideas, lead inexorably to string theory.
Physicists may have uncovered a surprising new clue that string theory—the idea that the universe is built from unimaginably tiny vibrating strings—could be more than just a mathematical fantasy.
Students from across the Intermountain West gathered to explore the world of science — and it was thrilling in more ways than ...
Scientists used fluid dynamics to learn how to get the most flavor from pour-over coffee. By Katrina Miller More than a billion cups of coffee are consumed daily: French-press, espresso, cold brew, ...
We use different devices to measure temperature. The science behind them, and concepts such as absolute zero and cold atoms, ...
The Ithaca Physics Bus took a pit stop at Tioughnioga River Academy this afternoon, bringing students a one-of-a-kind, ...
College professors these days face an ever-higher bar to grab the attention of their students, forced to compete with the stimuli of smartphones and laptops in large lecture halls. But when your ...
Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...
