Water has always responded well to sunlight, evaporating faster under the sun than when heated by other energy sources. For ...

This discussion from Reddit explores solving physics homework problems involving the calculation of the Electric Field and Electric Potential. It highlights effective problem-solving strategies, key ...

When matter and antimatter collide, they turn into pure energy. Energy can also spontaneously turn into matter and antimatter ...

Superfluid helium reveals a manageable analog to the Schwinger effect. It deepens understanding of vortices and quantum ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to audio speakers. Oh, and without it we’d live in eternal darkness.

According to Newtonian physics, the gravitational attraction between two masses is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance between them – the inverse square law. However, as Most ...

The strength of the ice’s flexoelectric effect is on par with titanium dioxide and strontium titanate, two ceramic materials ...

If you hang around with physics people long enough, some­one eventually will bring up Maxwell's equations. Maybe as part of a joke, or on a T-shirt or a tattoo. But they'll be somewhere. So even if ...

A static electric field can be used to manipulate the superconducting state of metallic superconducting thin films, according to new experiments by researchers in Italy. The effect, which was first ...

Scientists have predicted new physics governing compression of water under a high-gradient electric field. Physicists found that a high electric field applied to a tiny hole in a graphene membrane ...

A tiny engine comprised of a glass bead zapped with electric fields behaves as if it is operating 2000 times hotter than the ...
