A new study reports the first experimental observation of the transverse Thomson effect – a long-hypothesized thermal effect that ties heat, electric current, and magnetic field into one neat result ...

When you think of Geneva’s CERN, the world’s most famous physics lab, what comes to mind? There would probably be a tonne of tunnels, massive machinery, and scientists trying to solve the mysteries of ...

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Chris Wright visited the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) on Aug. 20 at a pivotal time for the race toward reliable fusion energy, which decisions ...

When Christi Johnson finishes clocking an eighth of a mile in 4.7 seconds, she jumps out of the dagger-shaped drag racer while its wheels are still smoking, pulls off her helmet… and the next morning, ...

At the foot of the thickly forested Dashi Hill, in southern China’s Guangdong province, pre-approved visitors can take a ride aboard a unique yellow train. Rather than winding through the serene ...

Postdoctoral Associate JaeBeom Park was recently awarded the Sambamurti Memorial Lectureship from Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) for his work on the sPHENIX experiment. Park delivered the ...

For all the problems AI is causing society, one of its greatest benefits lies in the world of science. A new study focused on the chaotic dynamics of dusty plasmas found that, when trained properly, ...

The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) mourns the passing of former Senior Fellow Phil E. DePoy, who died July 12 at the age of 89. DePoy was a renowned naval analyst who spent more than ...

The explanation behind the universe’s matter-antimatter asymmetry—an apparent violation of a fundamental law of nature known as charge-parity-time (CPT) symmetry—is one of particle physics’ greatest ...

This September, IMAP — a one-ton NASA spacecraft carrying 10 unique instruments — will launch into space to collect and interpret particles from the Sun and from exploded stars billions of miles ...

This article presents a detailed analysis of an undergraduate physics laboratory experiment designed to determine the density of water using fundamental measurement techniques and data analysis ...

Physicists confirm DT fusion insights from a 1938 experiment. The findings connect past theory with current fusion efforts. A team at Los Alamos National Laboratory has successfully recreated a ...
