We attached different objects to real cannonballs - weights, fins, and even small payloads - and fired them to see what would ...

When an intense laser pulse hits a stationary electron, it performs a trembling motion at the frequency of the light field.

Researchers from Skoltech, the University of Potsdam, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered a ...

A new theory-based approach provides access to the minute transverse motion of quarks within protons. Nuclear physicists have developed a new theoretical framework that allows them to calculate a ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics attempts ...

Physicists have taken the Universe’s temperature, revealing the searing trillion-degree heat of the Big Bang’s first plasma.
