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

A huge bar of iron has been discovered lurking inside the iconic Ring Nebula. The structure is enormous, spanning hundreds of ...

Flux physics refers to continuous change in physical quantities, including energy transfer and dynamic equilibria. Flux is central to many areas of formal and Big-P physics, though intuitive ...

In a recent paper, SFI Professor David Wolpert, SFI Fractal Faculty member Carlo Rovelli, and physicist Jordan Scharnhorst examine a longstanding, paradoxical thought experiment in statistical physics ...

In this video, we explore five key areas of physics: **Classical Mechanics:** Newton’s second law (F = ma) explains the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The law of universal ...

Condensed-matter physics is the study of substances in their solid state. This includes the investigation of both crystalline solids in which the atoms are positioned on a repeating three-dimensional ...

Statistical physics is a branch of physics that uses probability theory and statistics to solve physical problems that usually involve systems composed of a large number of units. Its main purpose is ...

Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found evidence against the existence of a "sterile" type of neutrino hypothesized ...

Some people believe you can read a person’s aura and sense the energy field around their body. And that each aura corresponds to a different chakra. Proponents believe that tuning in to your aura can ...
