The complex interactions of fluid and soft matter physics prove challenging to simplify into cut-and-dried formulae. But Backholm has managed to develop a technology to measure these tiny forces, ...

Scientists think a new framework for quantum gravity could offer clues about a mysterious 5th fundamental force of nature.

Atomic nuclei exhibit multiple energy scales simultaneously—ranging from hundreds down to fractions of a megaelectronvolt. A new study demonstrates that these drastically different scales can be ...

From passenger baggage limits to flight stability, discover the critical physics behind weight and balance that every pilot ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich), along with teams from Germany and Australia, have made some incredibly precise measurements using calcium atoms—and the results ...

Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest and most fascinating phenomena in physics. Even Einstein didn’t believe it - he called it “spooky action at a distance” - but science has proven it true.

Researchers adapt a novel force measurement technique to uncover the previously unidentified physics at play at the thin air-film gap between water droplets and superhydrophobic surfaces. Microscopic ...
