Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that ...

Explore 25 science experiments that defied the laws of physics, revealing mind-bending phenomena that challenge intuition.

Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...

Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida, have pushed a palm-sized superconducting ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only under specific conditions that researchers have struggled for decades to ...

A new initiative is emerging at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), the U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory managed by Princeton University. Under the direction of principal ...

Collaboration to Deliver Superconducting Magnets up to 30 Tesla Through this partnership with the MagLab, Quantum ...

A team of physicists has experimentally confirmed a long-predicted sequence of exotic magnetic phases in an atomically thin ...
