Find the minimum applied force for equilibrium on a frictional incline. This short breaks down the free-body diagram, force components, and friction conditions to show how equilibrium is achieved with ...

Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The ...

Properties that remain unchanged when materials are stretched or bent, which are broadly referred to as topological properties, can contribute to the emergence of unusual physical effects in specific ...

When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and ...

Cells spend energy not just on reactions, but on control. New research explains why staying stable comes with an unseen ...

Researchers uncover geometric principles governing how particles self-assemble, solving a long-standing challenge in ...

Physicists have created a perfect conductor from ultracold atoms, enabling energy to flow without resistance, forever!

Physicists have identified a new superfluid phase in a class of quantum systems that, until recently, looked too unstable and ...

Webb telescope discovered a bizarre exoplanet with carbon atmosphere, no hydrogen, orbiting a super-dense spinning star.

Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The challenge: the process seemed random and notoriously difficult to predict.

Polymer-coated cotton fabric generates electricity from ambient humidity day and night, powering LEDs for over 24 hours and charging wearable devices from air moisture and sweat.
