What is the meaning of life? Even the best of us couldn't hope to answer that question in a Universe Today article. But there ...

Most earthquake energy turns into heat rather than ground shaking, sometimes hot enough to melt rock in microseconds. MIT’s ...

Physicists in Australia and Britain have reshaped quantum uncertainty to sidestep the restriction imposed by the famous ...

Each mineral in a volcanic deposit is like a microscopic thermometer that records magma chamber temperature over time.

Cold atoms could also potentially measure much lower vacuum pressures than ion gauges can. The current lowest pressure they’ve reliably measured is around 10 -9 Pa, and NIST scientists are working on ...

MIT scientists have unraveled the hidden energy balance of earthquakes by recreating them in the lab. Their findings show that while only a sliver of energy goes into the shaking we feel on the ...

Scientists recreated earthquakes in the lab to uncover how quake energy is split between heat, shaking, and rock damage.

CHESS thin-film materials nearly double refrigeration efficiency compared to traditional methods. Scalable and versatile, ...

Scientists reveal for the first time the atomic structure of liquid carbon, key to exoplanets and nuclear fusion.

NASA and SpaceX are set for the launch of the agency’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) from Florida on Wednesday morning. Joining IMAP atop a Falcon 9 are two additional rideshare ...

Coriolis flowmeters from ABB deliver accurate measurement of coolant concentration, crucial for reliable battery performance ...

The findings resolve a long-standing problem in fundamental physics. Scientists at Hiroshima University have created a ...
