The transverse Thomson effect is observed for the first time: current, heat, and magnetic fields generate controlled cooling ...

Researchers from the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), Xi’an Jiaotong University, and Stony Brook ...

A new study revises the classic equation for wind turbines and offers clear formulas for maximizing power without ...

Dark energy—the term used to describe whatever is causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate—is one of the universe ...

Ice generates electricity as a response to stress when it bends. Experiments with pure and saline ice found that with enough ...

At just 25, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin applied quantum physics to a treasure trove of astronomical observations to show that stars are mostly hydrogen and helium.

The universe has many secrets we'll never discover, and the domain wall is one of them. I The expansion is ongoing, and it ...

APL’s CHESS thin films nearly double refrigeration efficiency. The scalable materials could transform cooling and energy-harvesting technologies. Scientists at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics ...

Combining nodal seismic networks with AI creates a high-resolution 3D model of the internal structure of an active volcano ...

Two black holes merged together 2.4 billion light years away from Earth, and scientists have just figured out how fast the newborn ricocheted, and in which direction.

Scientists have discovered that ice can generate electricity when bent, a phenomenon called flexoelectricity. The effect is significantly amplified with the addition of salt, potentially playing a ...

These phenomena are erratic. They interact at every scale and manifest as weather, from clear sunny days to blustery blizzards and the anomalous events — from hurricanes and polar vortices to ...
