When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and ...
For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and ...
Alternatively, data from all transducers can be used while limiting the focal depth, allowing more transmit-receive pulses to ...
Almost exactly 200 years ago, French physicist Sadi Carnot determined the maximum efficiency of heat engines. The Carnot ...
For two centuries, students have learned that heat flows and engines work according to rigid limits that no machine can beat.
Plasma physics is the study of a state of matter comprising charged particles. Plasmas are usually created by heating a gas until the electrons become detached from their parent atom or molecule. This ...
Optical physics is the study of the fundamental properties of light and its interaction with matter. This includes classical optical phenomena such as reflection, refraction, diffraction and ...
