The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study ...

Over the short span of just 300 years, since the invention of modern physics, we have gained a deeper understanding of how our universe works on both small and large scales. Yet, physics is still very ...

Scientists at Fermilab’s MicroBooNE experiment have ruled out the existence of the elusive sterile neutrino, a particle ...

In this video, we explore five key areas of physics: **Classical Mechanics:** Newton’s second law (F = ma) explains the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The law of universal ...

Quantum science is as hard a science as can be created. Understanding it requires in-depth mathematical frameworks with pronouns in their names, like a projective Hilbert space or Von Neumann algebra.

Building blocks can be assembled much like lego to create molecules of life. Credit: Dr Anna Tanczos, Sci - Comm Studios., CC BY-SA Building blocks can be assembled much like lego to create molecules ...

You may think of physics as a way to explain the behaviors of things like black holes, colliding particles, falling apples, and quantum computers. But a small group physicists today is working on a ...

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...

One of the most important open questions in science is how our consciousness is established. In the 1990s, long before winning the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for his prediction of black holes, ...

How do you explain the laws of physics to a toddler? A new children’s book, titled Simple Machines Made Simple, wants to demystify mechanical engineering for kids as young as a year old. It recently ...

When she first began weightlifting on the advice of a co-worker in 2006, College of DuPage physics adjunct faculty member Jennifer Gimmell found it to be a fun activity. The grueling workouts provided ...
