Prime numbers are sometimes called math’s “atoms” because they can be divided by only themselves and 1. For two millennia, mathematicians have wondered if the prime numbers are truly random, or if ...

A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic ...

The aurora borealis is a spectacle of space weather, but solar flares and coronal mass ejections have far more Earthly ...

Abstract: This article investigates the influence of high-energy secondary electrons on a Ka-band TM03 relativistic backward-wave oscillator (RBWO) using the particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation code ...

By using something called a quantum grid, scientists have found a clever way to simultaneously measure momentum and position without violating Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

The Irish mathematician and physicist William Rowan Hamilton, who was born 220 years ago last month, is famous for carving some mathematical graffiti into Dublin's Broome Bridge in 1843.

Abstract: In the last decade, ultrasound elasticity imaging has advanced as a technique for measuring tissue stiffness. However, achieving an exceptionally high frame rate in shear wave elastography ...
