Stefan Hutzler and Louise Bradley explain how they turned the famous pitch-drop experiment into an outreach activity ...

Abstract: A simple method is proposed for the establishment of resistance-controlled (RC) interfaces to control bypass resistance inside windings for no-insulation (NI) scheme coils. The method uses ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. There are precision measurements, and then there’s the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. In each of LIGO’s twin ...

The power cable’s burning characteristics are a critical parameter for fire hazard assessment. In the recent past, there have been some incidents in industrial and residential areas where cables have ...

"These single atoms are like the smallest slits you could possibly build." For over 100 years, quantum physics has taught us that light is both a wave and a particle. Now, researchers at the ...

URBANA, Ill. — Three atomic clocks, each no bigger than a grain of sand, suspended at different heights around a city. But these aren’t ordinary timepieces; they’re quantum devices that exist in ...

An AI-controlled robot has autonomously completed a gallbladder removal with “100 percent accuracy.” The procedure, conducted by a team of Johns Hopkins University researchers, demonstrated the power ...
