A mile beneath the Black Hills of South Dakota, crews have spent years blasting and hauling rock to carve out enormous ...

Basketball shoes on a gym floor, bicycle brakes in need of a tune-up, or the squeal of tires are everyday examples of squeaking sounds. Such sounds have long been attributed to stick-slip friction, or ...

Buried deep below the American Midwest, a new kind of observatory is taking shape that aims to watch some of the most elusive particles in the universe as they stream straight through Earth. The Deep ...

The deviant behavior of a subatomic particle might point to undiscovered forms of matter and energy in the universe. Or it might not. By Katrina Miller Katrina Miller reported on the last result from ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Tuebingen, working with an international team, have developed an artificial intelligence that designs entirely new, sometimes unusual, experiments in quantum physics ...

To build the DUNE neutrino experiment and its associated accelerator upgrade, experts invent customized ways to transport fragile, expensive and highly specialized components. On a late-September day, ...

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 ...

Physicists now have a brand-new measurement of a property of the muon called the anomalous magnetic moment that improves the precision of their previous result by a factor of 2. An international ...

The Department of Physics and Engineering Physics offers major programs of lecture and laboratory instruction leading to the bachelor of science in physics and the bachelor of science in engineering ...

The Computational Engineering Physics Laboratory at Western Michigan University (WMU) engages in computational research in multidisciplinary engineering physics. Funding from various government and ...
