From the heartbreak of an early flight failure to a resounding triumph over the Norwegian Sea, the Boundary Layer Transition and Turbulence (BOLT) Program spent nearly a decade launching rockets into ...

To learn more about the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, physicists smash high-energy particles together in large accelerator machines, creating sprays of millions of particles per second of ...

A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory is developing a new project which aims to use AI to expedite fusion energy research. Shantenu Jha, the head of PPPL’s Computational ...

World-class particle-accelerator facilities and recent advances in neutron-star observation give physicists a new toolkit for describing nuclear interactions at a wide range of densities. Michigan ...

At 4 a.m., while most of New Jersey slept, a Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) physicist sat at his computer connected to a control room 3,500 miles away in Oxford, England. Years of ...

Your phone already uses its sensors more than you probably think. They count your steps, point maps in the right direction, adjust screen brightness, detect motion, and rotate the display when you ...

When the legends of physics such as Galileo, Newton and Faraday were driving forward our knowledge of the Universe, they did so with simple tabletop equipment, working in small basement laboratories.

An artificial-intelligence approach borrowed from natural-language processing -- much like language translation and autofill for text on your smart phone -- can predict future fault friction and the ...

Researchers have developed a novel high-energy particle detection instrumentation approach that leverages the power of quantum sensors -- devices capable of precisely detecting single particles. To ...
