In January I wrote a piece titled “ 5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know .” Lots of you weighed in with your own nominations, and there were plenty of good suggestions. So I’ve decided to do a ...

Murray Grimwood says we are headed for a global one-off readjustment of life as we know it that will be of epic proportions - unless we respect basic physical laws ...

Harnessing quantum states that avoid thermalization enables energy harvesters to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits such as Carnot efficiency, report researchers from Japan. The team developed a ...

John Mauldin reminds us how the Luddites were real people with big problems. More of us will soon learn how they felt.

Researchers have made a breakthrough in applying the first law of thermodynamics to complex systems. The law is a bedrock of physics, but has long failed to describe systems that are out of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Researchers have made a breakthrough in applying the first law of thermodynamics to complex systems. The law is a bedrock of physics, but has long ...

What if the universe remembers? A bold new framework proposes that spacetime acts as a quantum memory. For over a hundred years, physics has rested on two foundational theories. Einstein’s general ...

With her students exploring the concepts of how energy behaves in the universe, Heather Walker took the opportunity to introduce her class to the top-of-the-line machinery that is putting this study ...

A new experiment confirms that angular momentum conservation holds even when a single photon is split into two.
