Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right ...

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting them with extreme lasers. By harnessing excitons, short-lived energy pairs ...

Record-breaking experiment shows that a cluster of thousands of atoms can act like a wave as well as a particle.

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

An equation of motion in the presence of a drag force proportional to the velocity is derived in the framework of alternative ...
