Scientists know well how conventional materials conduct heat. However, things are not as straightforward under extreme ...

A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new ...

Researchers will soon be able to study biological changes at scales and speeds not previously possible to significantly ...

By analyzing the deflections of the electron beam, magnetic structure and spin states and their dynamics can be imaged and studied. In 2014, the concept of imaging spin waves was developed at ...

While the physics of uncorking a bottle of champagne has been well documented, less is known about the mechanisms at play when opening a swing-top bottle of beer. Physicist Max Koch from the ...

Atomic and molecular physics it the study of the properties, dynamics and interactions of the basic (but not fundamental) building blocks of matter. A crucial component of this is understanding ...

The consistent description of diffusion coefficients (self-diffusion and mutual diffusion) in liquid mixtures across different phases is a challenge. Here, the authors develop a model based on ...

Delicious drinks can be the perfect miniature laboratory for demonstrating the weird physics of fluids. In this video, deputy features editor, Josh Howgego explores four of the best examples ...

it is definitely high time that physics really got to grips with the fundamentals of this field,” says Eberhard Bodenschatz, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in ...

The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. Scientists know well how conventional materials, such as metals and insulators, ...
