Thermal controls within the sealed payload kept the chamber near 30 °C, allowing the pupa to complete metamorphosis. The ...

From “research isn’t for me” to designing gamma-ray detectors and studying in Japan—Lincoln Potts turned one small yes into a ...

Blaise Pascal, who lived from 1623 to 1662, made lasting contributions to probability theory, fluid mechanics and Christian ...

Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla has used a water blob to explain Earth's shape. Discover the physics of surface tension, rotation, and inertia in this space and physics explainer.

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The ...

This visualization shows moderately large pressure fluctuations within a 35-trillion-grid-point turbulence simulation, ...

When the universe first burst into being, all of space was a cosmic cauldron filled with a roiling, fiery liquid of ...

After 25 years, Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider—the U.S.’s largest particle collider—has ...

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its ...
