Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) -; ...

This novel approach to studying nuclear shapes opens exciting new avenues of research in nuclear physics. By providing a ...

Berry used mathematical means to investigate what would happen to the neutron if the direction of the magnetic field changed slowly. According to the so-called adiabatic theorem, which was introduced ...

Based on an experiment at CERN, a collaboration led by the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, can predict hitherto unchartered changes in the shape of nuclei.

It’s all in the eye of the beholder. For rainbows to form, the shape of the water droplets has to be very close to a sphere ...

While in the real world, we understand physics through math, in the world of video generation, an AI model that understands physics should be able to watch a sequence of frames and then predict which ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to reveal subtle details about the shapes of atomic nuclei. The method is ...

Here we demonstrate an unexpected degree of flexibility and cognition in a decision made by a hunting animal at reflex-like speed. Based on observing initial speed, direction, and height of falling ...

Flatter nanocrystals are unexpectedly good at getting ligands to attach to them, which could have applications in electronics ...

To study the physics of firebrands – embers generated by wildfires – UC Irvine researchers set up an experiment at the UC Berkeley Blodgett Forest Research Station in California’s Sierra Nevada range.

To create such an artificial quantum material, the Empa researchers used tiny pieces of the two-dimensional carbon material graphene. The shape of these nanographene molecules influences their ...

That may set off alarm bells if you’re wary of ascribing unscientific intentionality to how physics shapes our world. All of this would just seem a bit eccentric—stranger ideas have gotten ...
