Plasmonic nanomachines use light-generated gradients to create local force, offering a design framework for controlled motion at micro- and nanoscale dimensions.

Particles are nature’s smallest constituents, but that doesn’t mean they’re fundamental. So what is the Universe made of?

Creating quantum entanglement inside a solid material is tricky in the lab – but crystals buried in the earth could be ...

The mechanism that can cause a rapidly expanding plasma—the superhot state of matter harnessed in fusion energy systems—to ...

Researchers have found a faster, more accurate way to design magnetic “bottles” that hold plasma for fusion power. Using symmetry theory instead of traditional, slow Newton-based calculations, they ...

A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

Ms. Sun writes about A.I. and Silicon Valley culture on Substack. Most people I know in the A.I. industry think the median ...

Her widescreen, acrobatic songs have dominated radios, karaoke nights and — most likely — a big portion of your memory.

Physics doesn’t have to feel intimidating — the right mix of practice resources, mindset shifts, and guided support can make all the difference. From open problem banks and printable worksheets to ...
