An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily life, doing work on something over and over usually makes it warmer. You ...

In 1914, Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan published a short paper detailing several unusual formulas for calculating ...

Time feels like the most familiar thing in the world, yet it hides one of physics’ hardest questions: why do we only remember ...

Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

Winter jackets keep you warm by managing heat through the three classical modes of heat transfer – conduction, convection and radiation – all while remaining breathable so sweat can escape. The ...

Classical Mechanics:** Newton’s second law (F = ma) explains the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The law ...

For years, one of the most intriguing mysteries in physics has been dark matter—an invisible substance thought to make up ...

More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly ...

Ramanujan’s insights into pi are now guiding scientists toward a deeper understanding of how the universe works.

The text is now best known for introducing “Pascal’s Law” or “Principle,” that any change of pressure in an enclosed incompressible fluid (like water) is transmitted equally to all points within the ...

Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan’s formula for Pi can help with calculating black holes, studying percolation, or ...

A research team at Duke University has developed a new AI framework that can uncover simple, understandable rules that govern ...
