The thermoelectric effect is a phenomenon by which a temperature difference is directly converted to electric voltage and vice versa. When two dissimilar metals such…

The term “Thermoelectricity” is generally restricted to the irreversible conversion of electricity into heat described by the English physicist James P. Joule and to three…

Classical Physics is generally concerned with matter and energy on the normal scale of observation, while much of modern physics is concerned with the behavior…

Viscoelasticity is the behavior of materials with both fluid and elastic properties at the same time. It is the property of materials that exhibit both…

Tunneling is a quantum mechanical effect. Quantum tunneling or tunneling (US) is the quantum mechanical phenomenon where a subatomic particle passes through a potential barrier.…

Ultracold atoms are atoms that are maintained at temperatures close to 0 kelvin (absolute zero), typically below several tens of microkelvin (µK). At these temperatures…

Quantum simulators permit the study of quantum systems that are difficult to study in the laboratory and impossible to model with a supercomputer. They are…

The Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL) is a fundamental physics user facility that will operate on the International Space Station (ISS). CAL is an experimental instrument being…

Planck temperature, denoted by TP, is the unit of temperature in the system of natural units known as Planck units. In the Planck temperature scale, 0 is absolute zero, 1 is…

Mining is the process of digging things out of the ground. It is the act, process, or industry of extracting ores, coal, etc. Any material…

In physics, the angular velocity specifies the angular speed at which an object is rotating along with the direction in which it is rotating. It…

The half-life of an Element The half-life of a substance is the time it takes for half of the substance to decay. The term half-life…
