Sometimes to truly study something up close, you have to take a step back. That's what Andrea Donnellan does. An expert in ...

Getting a significant energy return from tokamak-based nuclear fusion reactors depends for a large part on plasma density, ...

For 21 years, between 1999 and 2020, millions of people worldwide loaned UC Berkeley scientists their computers to search for ...

In this last part of our series on recently digitized books from the Wenner Collection, we are focusing on works that ...

This new propulsion system could rewrite the rules of spaceflight—not to mention completely defy conventional physics.

For centuries, most scientists have shared the belief that light behaves as both a wave and a particle. This idea, then, became the central component to quantum theory, sprouting the field of science ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

The question I had in mind when launching this Research Topic was where to draw the border between physics and its neighboring sciences in the rugged landscape that science constitutes. In the context ...

Modeling complex physical dynamics is a fundamental task in science and engineering. Traditional physics-based models are first-principled, explainable, and sample-efficient. However, they often rely ...

Dr. Charles Buhler, a NASA engineer and the co-founder of Exodus Propulsion Technologies, has revealed that his company’s propellantless propulsion drive, which appears to defy the known laws of ...

Jason Wojnar started his gaming life with the original PlayStation and the Commodore 64, despite being way too young to know what the was. He started writing about video games in 2018 and hasn't ...
