Light does not “think” in any human sense. Still, under the right conditions, it can behave in a way that looks uncannily like a memory system.

Preserving quantum information is key to developing useful quantum computing systems. But interacting quantum systems are chaotic and follow laws of thermodynamics, eventually leading to information ...

Basketball shoes on a gym floor, bicycle brakes in need of a tune-up, or the squeal of tires are everyday examples of squeaking sounds. Such sounds have long been attributed to stick-slip friction, or ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

In everyday life, designing spaces that both let air flow and absorb sound can be a tricky balancing act. Usually, materials ...

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN)- Youngstown State University is home to one of the first established Physics Olympics in the country.

Particle physics is using ever more interdisciplinary means to seek ever more exotic phenomena, Robert P Crease finds, but ...

CARSON CITY, Nev. – Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland, the United States and Italy all took home medals for curling this Winter Olympics. But even though curling has been around for ...

This idea that there are many people contributing and many different parts of the pieces need to put together is actually much more characteristic of how physics is usually done than the single person ...
