ANN ARBOR—Strange things happen in the lower reaches of our planet’s mantle, that plastic-like layer between Earth’s crust and core that flows under pressure, lifting or lowering features on the ...

Quantum physics once shocked scientists by revealing that particles can behave like waves—and now, that strange behavior has been pushed even further. For the first time, researchers have observed ...

Shock waves should not be shocking—engineers across scientific fields need to be able to precisely predict how the instant and strong pressure changes initiate and dissipate to prevent damage. Now, ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same time. Matter no longer behaves like solid objects moving along clear paths.

Engineers need to precisely predict how instant and strong pressure changes initiate and dissipate to prevent damage during rocket launches, for example. A team from YOKOHAMA National University has ...
