From superconductors and AI-driven quantum analysis to black hole physics, Day 2 of QMAT2026 highlighted cutting-edge ...

One day, tiny swimming robots may travel through the human body to deliver drugs. The medication would target only areas of ...

Physicists have developed a new optical centrifuge that can precisely spin molecules inside a superfluid for the first time.

In fault gouge, fluids drive chemical healing by cementing grains, a mechanism for seismic slip in rocks frictionally ...

By modeling dehydration-driven fluid pressure, a new study links deep fluids to where megathrust earthquakes end and slow slip begins.

Yu Deng of the University of Chicago links Newtonian mechanics and the Boltzmann equation, advancing Hilbert’s Sixth Problem ...

They have to make physical contact, meaning over time they wear down and eventually break. These liquid gears may change that ...

People use their bodies—not just their brains—to think. So the MIT Project on Embodied Education brings movement to the ...

What distinguishes genius—the domain it inhabits or the manner in which it thinks? A Touch of Genius: The Wisdom of India’s Nobel Laureates, edited by Rudrangsh ...

College students spend anywhere from 12 to 18 hours per week in a lecture hall. Their eyes wander across their computer. They sort their to-do list, complete the Wordle and text their friends. In the ...

From ketchup to quicksand, non-Newtonian fluids have long fascinated and puzzled scientists. Unlike ordinary fluids, their flow properties change depending on how much force is applied, but the ...
