Fluids moving through pipes lose energy to friction along the walls. Collisions, defects, and random motion steadily break ...

Physicists at TU Wien have created an ultracold quantum gas where both energy and mass flow without any measurable loss, a result that defies the standard expectation that interacting quantum systems ...

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

There are roof shapes and ratios that maximize heat retainment and energy efficiency and, interestingly, ancient Italian architects and builders seemed to know it, too. While serving as a visiting ...

Low-carbon energy systems are becoming increasingly complex due to high penetrations of renewable energy, distributed resources, and cyber-physical ...

Particle and high energy physics seeks to understand the fundamental constituents of matter and the interactions that govern them across the smallest distance scales and highest energies. The Standard ...

Early-career physicist Natasha Khan talks about her route to becoming a nuclear safety engineer – a journey that includes job rejections, the charity sector and nuclear awards ...

Scientific discovery rarely arrives in a single, dramatic moment. It usually emerges through careful experiments, revised equations, unexpected field observations, and years of incremental progress.

The idea that the United States can quickly “transition” away from hydrocarbons—the energy sources primarily used today—to a future dominated by so-called green technologies has become one of the ...

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, ...
