Almost exactly 200 years ago, French physicist Sadi Carnot determined the maximum efficiency of heat engines. The Carnot ...

Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...

Physics is frequently cited as one of the most challenging sections in competitive entrance exams due to its heavy reliance on a deep understanding of fundamental concepts. To help you navigate these ...

On October 8, 2024, the field of physics was plunged into controversy. That day, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for discoveries not involving black holes, cosmology, or strange new subatomic ...

Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic is coming off a win against Erik Spoelstra and the Miami Heat. Spoelstra is one of the most respected coaches in the NBA as he's held his position with the ...

Since the time of the dinosaurs, cycad plants may have attracted insects using infrared light. It may be the world's oldest form of pollination. Rhopalotria furfuracea beetles pollinate the cones of ...

Heat travels across a metal by the movement of electrons. However, in an insulator there are no free charge carriers; instead, vibrations in the atoms (phonons) move the heat from hot regions to cool ...

John and Christine Callahan were a little skeptical when they first heard that state incentives for a heat pump could cut down the heating bill for their single-wide trailer in Waterville. But their ...

After nearly four years of fighting, few aspects of Russia’s war in Ukraine have gained as much attention among Western militaries as the rapid expansion of drone warfare. Since 2023, both sides have ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...
