Energy efficiency in physics is not measured the way most people think about it. Instead of asking how much heat a process ...

Dive into Python Physics Lesson 23 and discover what happens when approximations fail in dipole electric fields. In this lesson, we explore the limitations of common approximation methods in physics ...

Researchers at MIT have observed “electron whirlpools” for the first time. The bizarre behavior arises when electricity flows as a fluid, which could make for more efficient electronics. Like water, ...

Todd Pedlar has been a professor in the Physics Department since 2003. Some of his course topics include Classical Physics, Electricity and Magnetism, Quantum Mechanics, Nuclear and Particle Physics, ...

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

I hope that you are never in a situation in which you are in danger from a downed, but live, power line. However, if that ever happens, the recommended safety procedure is to move away with tiny, ...
