Researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered that molecular vibrations can act like a catapult, flinging ...

The scientific community long assumed that to understand how lightning works, one needed a ...

Electrons can be "kicked across" solar materials at almost the fastest speed nature allows, scientists have discovered, ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

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, ...

Light does not “think” in any human sense. Still, under the right conditions, it can behave in a way that looks uncannily like a memory system.

Parts of the brain not traditionally associated with learning science become active when people are confronted with solving physics problems, a new study shows. The researchers, led by Eric Brewe, PhD ...

Physicists explore science and how things work. Our students learn the physical concepts of the laws of nature and how these concepts answer questions and solve real problems. Earning a bachelor’s ...

WHEN we were 16 years old, my friend Karen and I were interviewed for an educational video. With our hair thick with styling mousse, pale blue eyeliner and misplaced teen swagger, we explained why we ...
