One of the key steps in developing new materials is property identification, which has long relied on massive amounts of ...

For decades, it's been known that subtle chemical patterns exist in metal alloys, but researchers thought they were too minor to matter—or that they got erased during manufacturing. However, recent ...

Georgia Tech researchers have developed a mathematical formula to predict the size of lakes that form on melting ice ...

A new study by physicists and neuroscientists from the University of Chicago, Harvard and Yale describes how connectivity among neurons comes about through general principles of networking and ...

The Standard Model is our best theory for how the universe operates, but there are some missing pieces that physicists are struggling to find. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

When building a model rocket, it can be fun to get into the maths of it all—calculating the expected performance of your build, and then seeing how it measures up in the real world. To aid in that ...

The rapid retreat of sea ice in Antarctica can be explained by the "simple physics" of the sun's melting powers, according to a new study. Heat from the sun could explain why ice around the South Pole ...
