Cornell University’s School of Applied and Engineering Physics and Samsung’s Advanced Institute of Technology have developed a first-of-its-kind metalens—a metamaterial lens—that can be focused using…

With the growing demand for flexible wearable electronics, researchers have looked into flexible energy storage devices such as flexible supercapacitors, which are lightweight, safe, and…

Scientists believe they have confidently proven the process of formation behind Aurora, with north and south lights visible in the night sky at higher latitudes.…

A Japanese multi-institutional team has created a new magnetic design with magical mirror-like properties. The brightness of transmitted light changes depending on whether the material…

Mirco Kaponig and colleagues in physics and nanointegration in Germany detailed the fundamental concept of contact electrification between two metals in a new report published…

Density and mass provide physical dimensions of a given object but are completely different in application. Mass is the quantity of matter while volume is…

A team of physicists and chemists created a highly sensitive sensor using a new heterostructure made of atomically precise graphene nanoribbons. A key enabling technology…

Researchers developed a new model that allows engineers to incorporate the physics of an entire vortex collision into their design codes to aid in the…

After the end of World War II and the devastating effects of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Cold War began. The devastation…

Stone skipping, also known as stone skimming, attempts to determine how many times a stone bounces off the surface of a pond before sinking. Skipping…

Nikola Tesla has moved from neglected talent to folk hero and inventor modern engineers want to be associated with it. Yet his ideas were so…

In space, light travels at speeds of 299,792,458 meters per second (about 186,000 miles per second). This weird value is quite voluntary and it’s how…
