PHYSICS & MATHIn a letter written by Nobel prize-winning physicist, Albert Einstein considered if new physics understandings could result from examining how animals are sensing the world surrounding them
New research demonstrates how 3D printing technology could create highly precise and complex microlenses - miniature reflective surfaces whose diameters are just a few microns.
Engineers from the University of California San Diego developed a new infrared imager that is thin with a large-area display that converts infrared light to images.
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania developed a flat pasta that morphs into 3D shapes when cooked that uses less packaging and releases less carbon footprint.
The University of Bristol's QETLabs scientists recently developed machine learning algorithms that offer valuable understandings into the physics underlying quantum systems.
Single photon switches, which can turn physical processes on or off by using only a single packet of light, have far-reaching implications for quantum photonic technologies - and a new breakthrough makes it one step closer to realization.
A new code is capable of generating stellar collision models with greater speed and efficiency. A stellar collision event - where two stars usually circle each other before eventually merging - is a rare phenomenon of significant interest in astrophysics.
Earlier this month, physicists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) near Chicago reported the results of the Muon g-2 experiment - and a study released the same day challenges decades of study on the subject.
Using soundwaves, a team of University of Utah engineers and mathematicians demonstrated how to arrange carbon nanoparticles in water in a never-repeating pattern.
A new theory addresses the "three-body problem," a centuries-old problem in physics and classical mechanics that predicts the motion of three gravitating bodies in space consistent with Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation.
The Kaplansky unit conjecture has been disproved by a researcher showing a counterexample. The Kaplansky unit conjecture, perhaps the most popular of three algebra inquiries named after American mathematician Irving Kaplansky, has been disproved by a researcher showing a counterexample after more than 80 years.
In investigating all possible mitigation technologies, including those seemingly from the movies, scientists from the United States are looking at nuclear detonations to protect Earth from dangerous asteroids.
A team of engineering researchers has taken a step forward in understanding turbulence with a new visualization of how vortices behave in a quantum fluid
