Physicists in Germany have carried out the most accurate measurement to date of the width of the proton. By examining a previously unexplored energy-level transition in the hydrogen atom, Lothar ...

Casimir cavities are mysterious spaces between microscopic metal plates in a vacuum. Areas of diminished energy between the plates cause them to push toward each other, as if trying to fill the ...

Explore Python Physics Lesson 8 and discover how energy shapes orbits with clear, step-by-step graphs and simulations. This lesson explains the relationship between kinetic and potential energy in ...

For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory plans to launch a new AI project, called STELLAR-AI, to lower costs and heighten efficiency for experiments. The program is anticipated to launch in 2027, and is ...

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...

Neutrino particles have extremely small masses, yet there are so many of them that they carve out the large-scale structure ...

Ford Motor Company lost more than $5 billion on electric vehicles last year, a figure that exposes a hard truth about ...

Carolyn Krause traveled to many of the future nuclear energy company sites in Oak Ridge last fall. She takes a look at ...

Tammy Ma, director the Livermore Institute for Fusion Technology, can explain why her work with nuclear fusion is a step toward abundant clean energy.

Time feels steady and familiar in daily life, but at the quantum level it becomes slippery. That puzzle now has a fresh twist ...
