Membranes are versatile and yet rarely appreciated materials. How are we improving them?

How have recent developments in material sciences led to stronger stuff?

Quantum computers are the future, but they are incredibly challenging right now. What are we doing to resolve the quantum memory component?

Quantum entanglement is a tricky topic. Experimentation can help clarify a few things, so check out some examples.

You may be very surprised to learn how physics affects things we experience every day. I know I was.

Technology is getting smaller and smaller. So how are changes with nanowires making macroscopic impacts?

This talks about the concept of Newton's three laws of motion. Newton's laws of motion describe the relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it, and its motion in response to those forces. This also includes scenarios and examples about the first, second, and third laws of motion.

Ice is a magical material. Seriously, it is the underpinning of many basic functions on Earth. But where are the extremes that defy our conventional thoughts?

Quasiparticles? Spin Waves? What is going on here?

It is a tough topic with no real consensus. What hope is there to resolve this?

As we gain deeper understanding of quantum systems, technology will also improve because of it. SQUIDs are but one example of this fascinating field.

We may be on the threshold of some serious answers to how physics is all connected. But first, we need to do some testing and find out our viable options.

Solid, liguid, gas, and plasma, right? Well...

Man has taken many inspirations for soaring the skies, but nature has held some secrets that we are only now uncovering...

The most common element in the Universe has more forms than you may realize...

Paper cranes and little boats are the easy parts of origami. Wait until you see the surprising connections it and kirigami have to physics!

Carbon is a pretty amazing material that as you will see is offering some amazing changes to technology.

Another day, another quantum phenomena to explore.

How to understand the principle of Archimedes, buoyancy and how it affects ships, divers, buoys, submarines, hot air balloons and other submerged and floating bodies.

Taking complicated topics like quantum mechanics and molecular biology sounds daunting at best. What headway can we make on this?

Humans love patterns, but what if there is a sneaky one across the whole Universe?

We trust in science to be true everywhere, but what if it isn't?

Time is not a material thing. You can't manipulate it as you can with any physical object. It just slips away. So, is it an illusion? I examine this issue.

Another day, another particle physics mystery to unwrap. Let's see what beauty hadrons reveal about the Universe!

Here we look at some hidden forces and their consequences in astronomy.

Yes, it's a film title, but terminal velocity is also the maximum velocity reached by an object as it falls through a fluid. This article explains how it works.

The key to the sub-atomic world, yet so misunderstood. Let's rectify that!

Making enough electricity for our needs is getting tricky. What alternative methods are there?

Savior of dark matter or a conceptual dead end?

Ever evolving and ever fascinating, here are some new pieces of solar tech and how they work.

In the vein of other X Prizes, the goal was to push the known boundaries. Who was the winner?

Quantum Physics and ultimate reality.

In the search for dark matter, many different possibilities exist. One of these is axions, and their potential is real.

Understanding the structure of the Universe seems impossible. But through clever science and surprising math, a pattern emerges: The Cosmic Web.

Superconductor research is always pushing the boundaries. Let's see where it takes us...

What is the latest advancements in light physics?

What are the latest advancements in fluid physics?

What are these mysterious fractals?

Many have heard of the amino acid experiment done to show how the building blocks of life began, but let us go even deeper and see if we can uncover the physics which cause life to arise in the first place.

It is important to note that science is not a perfect endeavor, for scientists on occasion do get things wrong. Even Einstein did not always get it right every time, suggesting that Einstein wasn't always an Einstein.

The farm boy from New Zealand, Ernest Rutherford, would go on to uncover the inner mysteries of the atom and become the father of nuclear physics.

Could two of the biggest mysteries in Physics be one and the same?

What started out as a challenge to quantum mechanics ended up forging an even more powerful result.

Levers can be found everywhere and have been used since ancient times. But why do we use them and what is the science behind how they work?

Particle physics is full of surprises, but to discover a location of tranquility in a storm of instability is amazing. Yet that is exactly what the island of stability is.
