Why does water roll off a duck's back but spread on clean glass? For macroscopic (millimeter-scale) drops, this behavior can ...

Moisture-capturing materials can enable potentially game-changing energy-water technologies such as atmospheric water production, heat storage, and passive cooling. Hydrogel composites recently ...

Scientists used swirling water waves to simulate a quantum effect, uncovering rotating nodal patterns that could deepen understanding of hidden quantum phenomena.

Assistant Professor Haocun Yu is something of a scientific diplomat. In a recent Physical Review Letters publication, she and her colleagues show how a tabletop experiment can bring together two ...

A tiny elementary particle called the muon has won a big prize: the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics. Researchers with Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory—which is affiliated with the ...

Neutrinos are some of nature’s most elusive particles. One hundred trillion fly through your body every second, but each one has only a tiny chance of jostling one of your atoms, a consequence of the ...
