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 ...

The transverse Thomson effect is observed for the first time: current, heat, and magnetic fields generate controlled cooling ...

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

In storm clouds, ice does more than just float or fall—it might actually help generate electricity. A new study in Nature ...

Researchers at UBC have found a way to mimic the elusive Schwinger effect using superfluid helium, where vortex pairs appear ...

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.

Ohio University’s particle accelerator allows physics students to study and experiment with no limits to their learning.

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

Researchers from Japan have discovered a unique Hall effect resulting from deflection of electrons due to "in-plane ...

W hen matter and antimatter collide, they turn into pure energy. Energy can also spontaneously turn into matter and antimatter pairs. If this happens in a vacuum under a strong electric field, this is ...
