For more than a century, physics has described nature using four fundamental interactions: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. That picture is ...

Newswise — Microscopic chasms forming a sea of conical jagged peaks stipple the surface of a material called black silicon. While it’s commonly found in solar cell tech, black silicon also moonlights ...

Physics is the science that quantifies reality. Stacker used a variety of scientific and educational resources to compile a ...

Atomic nuclei exhibit multiple energy scales simultaneously—ranging from hundreds down to fractions of a megaelectronvolt. A new study demonstrates that these drastically different scales can be ...

The complex interactions of fluid and soft matter physics prove challenging to simplify into cut-and-dried formulae. But Backholm has managed to develop a technology to measure these tiny forces, ...

Researchers adapt a novel force measurement technique to uncover the previously unidentified physics at play at the thin air-film gap between water droplets and superhydrophobic surfaces. Microscopic ...
