A new computational analysis supports the idea that photons (a.k.a. particles of light) colliding with heavy ions can create a fluid of 'strongly interacting' particles. In a new paper, they show that ...

Scientists analyzing data from heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—the world's most powerful particle ...

The ocean is saturated with microplastics. While we know the location of the great garbage patches, where plastic particles may accumulate below the ocean surface remains unknown. The vastness of the ...

A team of international researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), Johns Hopkins University and Duke University has discovered that a century-old theory describing turbulence in ...

To melt a solid, heat it. To freeze a liquid, cool it. It's simple—except when it isn't, because quantum mechanics can flip even the intuitive logic of melting and freezing on its head. Physicists ...

Stewart McCorkle Faculty Fellow Brett G. Compton coauthored a comprehensive review on the physics of direct-ink writing (DIW), a highly versatile type of 3D printing, which was published on January ...
