Engineers at the University of California, Davis, have invented a device that can generate mechanical power at night by ...

When an intense laser pulse hits a stationary electron, it performs a trembling motion at the frequency of the light field.

A new theory-based approach provides access to the minute transverse motion of quarks within protons. Nuclear physicists have developed a new theoretical framework that allows them to calculate a ...

The early modern physicist Isaac Newton had presumed an unperceived yet real flow of time. To Newton, time is a dynamic physical phenomenon that exists in the background, a regular, ticking ...

Scientists at Japan's Institute for Molecular Science have achieved a 1,000-fold enhancement in white-light generation inside ...

The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

The manuscript by Hensley and Yildez studies the mechanical behavior of kinesin under conditions where the z-component of the applied force is minimized. The important study shows that much of the ...

Two massive anvils meet in a high-stakes physics experiment from 45 meters above the ground. The impact generates incredible ...

From a height of 45 meters, a massive anvil plummets toward a parked car, turning a routine object into a physics experiment ...
