Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

In 1900, German theoretical physicist Max Planck accidentally gave birth to the field of quantum mechanics (aka quantum physics) when he tried to investigate why the results of his black body ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of physics.

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

Quantum physics is usually just intimidating from the get-go. It's kind of weird and can seem counter-intuitive, even for the physicists who deal with it every day. But it's not incomprehensible. If ...

In this video, we explore five key areas of physics: **Classical Mechanics:** Newton’s second law (F = ma) explains the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The law of universal ...

With an applied physics: mechanics degree, you’ll combine physics principles with the design experience of mechanical engineering as you prepare for graduate school or industry work. Become who you’re ...
