These phenomena appear to break the most fundamental rules of physics. Experiments revealed materials that flow against gravity, systems where cooling increases energy, and effects that challenge ...

Researchers made small, pure samples of the elusive mineral lonsdaleite – also known as hexagonal diamond — and tested its material properties to show it's harder than diamond. When you purchase ...

Nearly every object we interact with in our lives has a mass, but where does this mass come from? Modern physics says matter acquires its mass from interaction with a physical vacuum—it is not an ...

Researchers have developed a new imaging technique that captures more information about ultrafast processes in the microscopic world than was previously possible. The technique offers scientists a ...

Magnetic vortices When researchers at UT Austin coaxed an atomically thin sheet of nickel phosphorus trisulphide to enter an unusual magnetic state called the BKT phase, the magnetic orientations of ...

Physics of the future: "AI will keep getting better and better at physics. We will not." Matthew Schwartz of Harvard University predicts an inevitable role for AI in physics. (Courtesy: Candice Chua) ...

30-42. Must be a real mom or convincingly look and feel like one; natural beauty, minimal makeup, maybe none. She looks like she's talking after the kids went to bed; warm but slightly frustrated ...
