Physicists have spent a century trying to reconcile the smooth fabric of spacetime in general relativity with the jittery ...

Though a cornerstone of thermodynamics, entropy remains one of the most vexing concepts to teach budding physicists in the classroom. Physics teachers designed a hand-held model to demonstrate the ...

As climate change threatens global agricultural systems, understanding the adaptability of wild plant relatives is crucial.

A boiling sea of quarks and gluons, including virtual ones—this is how we can imagine the main phase of high-energy proton collisions. It would seem that particles here have significantly more ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers have used ultrafast laser heating and high-resolution inelastic X-ray scattering to explore the extreme limits of gold's structural stability. The 'entropy ...

What if we could peer into the brain and watch how it organizes information as we act, perceive, or make decisions? A new ...
