Researchers at Santa Clara University have developed a comprehensive mathematical framework to rigorously analyze and predict ...

Explore the foundations of electromagnetism with a deep dive into Maxwell’s Equations and the wave equation! This video breaks down these fundamental physics concepts, showing how electric and ...

A microscopic clump of sodium has become the largest object ever to be observed as a wave, improving upon previous records by ...

Watching a ski jumper fly through the air might get you wondering, “How do they do that?” The answer is – physics!That’s why ...

Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, ...

Breaking waves shape our coastlines, sink cruise ships and fishing vessels and play a crucial role in climate systems. Yet, despite decades of research, scientists have struggled to fully explain why ...

Light's behavior seems counterintuitive. That is, until you figure out light is a wave. The way light behaves can seem very counterintuitive, and many physicists would agree with that, but once you ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...

Down at the level of atoms and electrons, quantum physics describes the behavior of the very smallest objects. Solar panels, LED lights, your mobile phone and MRI scanners in hospitals: all of these ...

As one of the key experimentalists to conceptualize and then build one of the biggest experiments in history, Nobel-prize-winning physicist Rainer Weiss’s path to success is remarkable. Now aged 90 he ...
