In a levitation breakthrough, scientists have created a virtually frictionless, macroscale levitating disk that requires no ...

With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a ...

Easter Island is famous for its giant monumental statues, called moai, built some 800 years ago and typically mounted on ...

Building the perfect hand cart isn’t easy, but this solo dev is working hard to make sure Train Goes Right delivers ...

John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis discovered quantum physics on a macroscopic scale, paving the way for quantum ...

In January I wrote a piece titled “5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know.” Lots of you weighed in with your own nominations, and there were plenty of good suggestions. So I’ve decided to do a ...

It’s one thing when a respected scientist has a novel idea of what dark matter or dark energy might be, or what could explain spooky quantum phenomena like entanglement and superpositions. But the ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...

At a busy street crossing, people wait for the signal to change. When one person steps out first, others soon follow. Scientists in Amsterdam have found that this same kind of behavior happens at a ...

But there’s no doubt that illegal immigration is their top concern. The general sense is that migrants are being allowed to enter the U.K. illegally and then stay there without facing any serious ...
