A nuclear engineer reacts to an experiment that appears to challenge the second law of thermodynamics. The discussion explores the physics behind energy flow entropy and why certain results may seem ...

Scientists worldwide respond to the publication of the three-volume monograph “Quantum Model of the Universe” #Physics ...

New research using Cassini data suggests Titan may not have a global ocean, but small warm water pockets hidden deep in its ...

Over the past decades, energy engineers have developed increasingly advanced battery technologies that can store more energy, charge faster and maintain their performance for longer. In recent years, ...

MLIP calculations successfully identify suitable dopants for a novel photocatalytic material, report researchers from the ...

A team of physicists has computationally constructed a two-dimensional material that behaves like a paradox: it is disordered ...

Curiosity-driven research has long sparked technological transformations. A century ago, curiosity about atoms led to quantum mechanics, and eventually the transistor at the heart of modern computing.

At temperatures approaching absolute zero, most magnetic materials settle into tidy patterns. Their tiny magnetic moments, or ...

In a paper published today in Nature Synthesis, a team from the lab of University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) and Chemistry Department Prof. Paul ...

With the centennial of Robert Goddard's first liquid fuel rocket launch, his dreams, including reaching Mars, inspire today's aerospace students.

In some parts of the deep ocean, it can look like it's snowing. This "marine snow" is the dust and detritus that organisms slough off as they die and decompose. Marine snow can fall several kilometers ...
