Life emerged on Earth some 3.8 billion years ago. The "primordial soup theory" proposes that chemicals floating in pools of water, in the presence of sunlight and electrical discharge, spontaneously ...

Living cells are bustling with molecular machines that constantly process energy, matter, and information. Among these ...

Scientists know well how conventional materials conduct heat. However, things are not as straightforward under extreme ...

Researchers analyze the acoustics and physics behind the sloshing and popping sounds that occur when opening a swing-top beer bottle. In a fun experiment, Max Koch, a researcher at the University of ...

Under microscopes, scientists found that giant single-cell organisms were able to vacuum up more food when they are stuck together.

ORNL researchers study quantum computing for fluid dynamics, aiming to enhance industrial design and energy production.

Our faculty members lead world-class research programs in a wide variety of disciplines including astrophysics, biophysics, high-performance computing, ultra-low temperature physics, nanotechnology, ...

The team also investigated the sloshing of the beverage as it is opened. First, the dissolved carbon dioxide inside the beer ...

To meet this challenge, the theoretical physics group of Professor Peter ... "We can now not only quantitatively predict the dynamics of skyrmions, but the simulations are also similar in speed ...

Machine learning excels at finding patterns and sorting them into categories. We exploit this in physics, to classify dynamics, and in biomedical imaging, to determine disease, guide treatment, and ...

The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications.

In physics, the term "topological" describes special ... expected to oscillate − a striking example of quantum mechanical dynamics of electrons in metals. This effect arises due to the existence ...
