A team of physicists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria has now identified what breaks that symmetry: a thin, ...

For more than a century, condensed matter physics has grappled with one of its greatest unsolved challenges: how to build superconductors that operate at room temperature and transmit electricity with ...

Known to the industry as “sudden unintended acceleration,” the question for regulators is whether the problem is a human one or an engineering one, and over the years, engineers who think they’ve ...

We have seen a steady increase in high school physics enrollments since the survey’s inception in 1983, with one prior exception. The 2023-24 survey marks the first time physics enrollments declined ...

Katherine Courtney and Alice Gorman talk to Margaret Harris about the danger of space debris – and what we need to do about it Jettisoned junk A pallet of old batteries released into space from the ...

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that ...

New research from the Complexity Science Hub (CSH) shows why widely used algorithms for measuring economic complexity produce trustworthy results and how these tools may benefit diverse areas such as ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Quantum computers use qubits, which are based on quantum physics, allowing them to solve complex problems far faster than ...

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it’s more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To ...
