The Hypersonics Lab's work at Digital Futures has examined how changing surface dynamics alters the fundamental physics of hypersonic flight systems. Engineers also are learning more about the bizarre ...

UAB opened its $75 million new science building on Thursday, and physicists are already set up to make diamonds in a basement lab. The diamonds are not for jewelry, but for scientific applications. On ...

A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

How much faster could engineering progress with an artificial intelligence oracle that could answer any physics question? Such a machine is the big picture aim of the newly formed Center for ...

A new AI developed at Duke University can uncover simple, readable rules behind extremely complex systems. It studies how systems evolve over time and reduces thousands of variables into compact ...

At the Columbia Plasma Physics Lab, researchers are tackling one of the most pressing challenges in creating clean energy: making nuclear fusion a viable power source. Unlike nuclear fission—the type ...

Dave Van Wie has been selected to lead the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) as its next director. Van Wie, currently the Air and Missile Defense Sector Head at APL, will succeed Ralph ...

Assembly theory bridges the gap between physics and biology in explaining how complex objects are identifiable as products of evolution and how reusability of parts allows novelty and identical ...

Purdue University students take part in activities at the newly-created physics labs in Indianapolis. Purdue University photo/Alisha Willett INDIANAPOLIS —Purdue University is expanding hands-on ...
