Foams are everywhere: soap suds, shaving cream, whipped toppings and food emulsions like mayonnaise. For decades, scientists ...

If ever spotted in the emptiness of space, according to theoretical physicist Eugeny Babichev of the University of ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Scientists have long believed that foam behaves like glass, with bubbles locked into place. New simulations reveal that bubbles never truly settle and instead keep moving through many possible ...

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a ...

Setting aside the insane upheaval going on i n US science, this year’s Physics World Live series will give you a sense of what’s hot in physics right now.

Exotic hypothetical particles known as axions could be produced inside a nuclear reactor, something The Big Bang Theory’s ...

The coldest and densest molecular gas clouds in the interstellar medium can have temperatures of 10 K (-505 °F/-263 °C), ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

Flux physics refers to continuous change in physical quantities, including energy transfer and dynamic equilibria. Flux is ...

Conduction is the direct flow of heat from your warm body into your colder surroundings. In winter, all that heat escaping your body makes you feel cold. Insulation fights conduction by trapping air ...
