Medicine & TechnologyFractals are created by never-ending complex patterns that are similar in all scales. Nature holds the best example of fractals, such as trees, rivers, clouds, seashells, etc. Scientists have been using them to solve fundamental questions in physics.
The prototype for a scaled down miniature particle accelerator successfully powered a free-electron laser, opening up avenues for new methods to analyze atoms, molecules, and condensed matter.
Google's quantum computing laboratory might have created the first-ever time crystal inside a quantum computer. This could be the greatest achievement of this generation in quantum mechanics.
China has started building the world's first commercial onshore small nuclear reactor project, dubbed the Linglong One or ACP100. It is estimated to take almost five years to build in Hainan.
The familiarity of the feeling of a needle piercing through the skin is expected at the onset of a pandemic, especially to those vaccinated against COVID-19. But what exactly is the mechanism behind puncturing the skin or other soft solids? Scientists finally explain how this stuff works.
A new simulation performed by prestigeous institutes are able to create plasma-level energy, similar to a neutron star, that could produce laboratory-made antimatter.
Engineers in Japan have developed a new method of levitating objects using sound waves, which could hopefully unlock the potential of picking up physical things using nothing but sound.
His discoveries contributed to a better understanding of the fundamental forces at work in the cosmos, and his book "The First Three Minutes" took ordinary readers back to the beginning.
Researchers from Princeton University describe the mathematics behind the many forms created by thin strips of flexible material. This could help design materials that change form depending on specific conditions.
Isaac Newton is well-renowned for his numerous contributions to the fields of science. But just like us he had to survive being a kid, going to school, and spending his days isolated because of a plague.
At 11 years old, Laurent Simons became the second youngest college graduate with a degree in physics. He said that his goal is immortality by replacing body parts with mechanical parts.
Have you ever looked at a Romanesco cauliflower before and wondered how its fractal pattern was formed? For so long, scientists have searched for the answer but a new study has finally discovered the mystery behind this incredible pattern.
