In this video we'll take a look at thermal radiation, one of the three modes of heat transfer along with conduction and convection. We'll start by covering electromagnetic waves, the Stefan-Boltzmann ...

YouTube videos of grape halves sparking in a household microwave oven and igniting a plasma have amassed millions of views, but the physical mechanisms behind this phenomenon are in fact little ...

Report by BC Professor of Physics David Broido and international colleagues confirm high thermal conductivity predicted for isotopically enriched cubic boron nitride Research by Professor of Physics ...

Quantum dynamics—the study of how particles behave and interact in a quantum system—has long fascinated physicists due to its puzzling and sometimes bizarre behaviors. Unlike classical systems, where ...
