Imagine the tiniest game of checkers in the world—one played by using lasers to precisely shuffle around ions across a very small grid.

Using a system of cylindrical granular particles -- small solid rods made of quartz -- the researchers built a highly tunable mechanical platform. By precisely adjusting how the cylinders touch each ...

A joint research team has successfully demonstrated the complete confinement of mechanical waves within a single ...

In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped into it. A recent experiment using the U.S. Department of Energy’s Jefferson Lab ...

If you’re looking for physics experiments, my 5 physics experiments you can do at home are a good place to start. Learn about Isaac Newton’s Laws of Motion with rockets and try one of my easy space ...

Nor did the team discover new physics, he added — the experiments were based on known principles of electrostatics. “What we have done, for the first time, is we have seen that little droplets ...

The framework defines key concepts and describes recent advances in designing and planning evaluations of natural experiments, including the relevance of a systems perspective, mixed methods, and ...

They have now combined theory, simulations, and experiments to understand ... between different fields of mathematics and physics by exploring this simple problem was fun -- who knows, it might ...

How gravity causes a perfectly spherical ball to roll down an inclined plane is part of elementary school physics canon. But the world is messier than a textbook.    Scientists in the Harvard John A.

Drawing connections between different fields of mathematics and physics by exploring this ... abstract mathematics made visible with this simple experiment," said co-author and postdoctoral ...

Published in Cell Reports, this study reveals that neurons—the cells that make up our brain—use simple physics to maintain their connections, and that these processes change in Alzheimer's ...
