A new mathematical equation describes the distribution of different fragment sizes when an object breaks. Remarkably, the ...

An elegant new equation identifies the surprisingly orderly, mathematical way in which things break, shatter, and fall apart.

Whether it is a cube of sugar or a chunk of a mineral, a mathematical analysis can identify how many fragments of each size ...

Applied Physics Letters is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that is published 52 times per year by the American Institute of Physics. Its focus is rapid publication and dissemination of new ...

Engineers have made a breakthrough in an 80-year-old quandary in quantum physics, paving the way for the development of new materials that could make electronic devices smaller and cars more energy ...

The program will consist of a pedagogical series of lectures and seminars. Lectures will be given over a four-week period, three or four lectures per day, Monday through Friday. The audience will be ...

Nobel Prize-winning research is not always published in the highest impact journals. A new study has found that specialized journals publish more Nobel-winning physics papers than higher impact ...
