It's spring already? Physics explains why time flies as we age

A slowdown in image processing speeds up our perception of time passing as we age DURHAM, N. C. -- A Duke University researcher has a new explanation for why those endless days of childhood seemed to last so much longer than they do now--physics.

The best topological conductor yet: Spiraling crystal is the key to exotic discovery

X-ray research at Berkeley Lab reveals samples are a new state of matter The realization of so-called topological materials - which exhibit exotic, defect-resistant properties and are expected to have applications in electronics, optics, quantum computing, and other fields - has opened up a new realm in materials discovery.

Time reversal through quantum computers

Scientists discover how to reverse time Valerii Vinokur and his team of scientists from the U. S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory successfully returned a computer briefly to the past.

Glass: The Science Behind It

Money: Creation and Manufacturing Explained

There's not a single pulp of wood in the US dollar. Whether we choose to admit it or not, money is the single most important element in life. Without money you couldn't eat, you would have no home, no clothes and sadly, very few friends.

Levitating objects with light

Nanoscale patterning could enable precise manipulation of objects on many scales Researchers at Caltech have designed a way to levitate and propel objects using only light, by creating specific nanoscale patterning on the objects' surfaces.
