Imagine a "smart fluid" whose internal structure can be rearranged just by changing temperature. In a new study published in Matter, researchers report a way to overcome a long-standing limitation in ...

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.

In Python Physics Lesson 14, we explore the simulation of elastic collisions and springs! Learn how to model collisions, spring dynamics, and energy transfer using Python, with step-by-step coding and ...

Antarctica’s eerie Blood Falls isn’t blood at all. Scientists have uncovered iron particles and hidden microbes beneath the ...

Researchers in Australia have unveiled the largest quantum simulation platform built to date, opening a new route to exploring the complex behavior of quantum materials at unprecedented scales.
