All the tech we rely on, from cars to smartphones, was engineered using physics. You don’t need to know the science to use these things. But a well-rounded human should understand at least some of the ...

Flux physics refers to continuous change in physical quantities, including energy transfer and dynamic equilibria. Flux is central to many areas of formal and Big-P physics, though intuitive ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

A University of Portsmouth physicist has explored whether a new law of physics could support the much-debated theory that we are simply characters in an advanced virtual world. The simulated universe ...

Physics experiments have changed the world irrevocably, altering our reality and enabling us to take gigantic leaps in technology. From ancient times to now, here's a look at some of the greatest ...

One of the more unsettling discoveries in the past half a century is that the universe is not locally real. In this context, “real” means that objects have definite properties independent of ...

As drones survey forests, robots navigate warehouses and sensors monitor city streets, more of the world's decision-making is ...

College professors these days face an ever-higher bar to grab the attention of their students, forced to compete with the stimuli of smartphones and laptops in large lecture halls. But when your ...

All three winners of today’s 2025 Nobel Prize in physics are faculty at the University of California. The Nobel Prize committee honored John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis “for the ...
