A long-standing basic question in biology relates to how life satisfies the fundamental constraints put on it by physics and chemistry. Darwin's warm pond hypothesis for the origin of primordial cells ...

I find it odd that some people still express skepticism or outright denial of climate change science. Physicists derived one of the fundamental insights into climate change by 1850: Air holds 7% more ...

Turbulence, the violently unruly disturbance of plasma, can prevent plasma from growing hot enough to fuel fusion reactions. Long a puzzling concern of researchers has been the impact on turbulence of ...

"Opposites charges attract; like charges repel" is a long-held fundamental principle of physics that you might have heard at school, but your teacher may have been wrong. Researchers from the ...

Yashwant Ramma and team received funding from Mauritius Research Council. Kinematics describes the motion of objects through numbers, diagrams, words and equations and is taught in schools around the ...

What is quantum physics? Put simply, it’s the physics that explains how everything works: the best description we have of the nature of the particles that make up matter and the forces with which they ...
