In a quiet laboratory, a team of atmospheric scientists and engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory recently gathered around a workstation to watch as little ...
This mind-bending relativity illusion has never been seen—until now ...
Learn how to calculate and understand the force on a wire loop entering a magnetic field in this detailed physics tutorial! We break down the concepts of magnetic flux, Lorentz force, and induced ...
Unlock the secrets of Gauss’s Law in this comprehensive physics tutorial! Learn how to calculate and visualize electric flux through surfaces, understand the connection between charge and field, and ...
As has been the custom for some four decades, the “Science on Saturday at the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab” (PPPL) series that opens at 9:30 a.m. on January 10 is likely to draw overflow crowds.
Discovering a machine that could somehow produce thrust without releasing propellant would be a game-changer for human space travel. There’s just one problem—such a device would defy the laws of ...
In physics, breakthroughs are rare. Experiments are slow, expensive and often end up refining, rather than rewriting, our understanding of the universe. But what if the only constraint on scientific ...
In the 1960s, a group of physicists and historians began a massive project meant to catalogue and record the history of quantum physics. It was called Sources for History of Quantum Physics (SHQP). As ...
The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, is fusing its analytic and cutting-edge artificial intelligence capabilities into a forward-leaning incubator known as GenWar ...
Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of New Mexico unveiled an AI framework on Monday, helping tackle one of physics’ hardest calculations. Known as Tensors for ...
A former employee of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory has accused the research facility of forgoing over 14 years of important safety inspections for “many” of the lab’s pressure systems and ...
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Chris Wright visited the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) on Aug. 20 at a pivotal time for the race toward reliable fusion energy, which decisions ...
