Last year marked the 270th anniversary of Benjamin Franklin’s lightning rod — but it’s more than a relic of history. The Franklin rod remains in use today because the simple design exploits some ...

Strong field laser physics investigates the interaction between intense laser pulses and matter, a domain where non-linear phenomena such as multiphoton absorption, tunnelling ionisation, and ...

Lunar laser ranging (LLR) remains one of the most incisive techniques for probing both the intricacies of the Earth–Moon system and the fundamental aspects of gravitational physics. By timing laser ...

A team of physicists from the University of Innsbruck and Harvard University has proposed a fundamentally new way to generate ...

For the first time, physicists have used lasers to deep-freeze antimatter. In a new experiment, an ultraviolet laser quelled the thermal jitters of antihydrogen atoms, chilling the antiatoms to just ...

The TLE-PINN method integrates EPINN and deep learning models through a transfer learning framework, combining strong physical constraints and efficient computational capabilities to accurately ...

The speed of light may not necessarily be constant. Light travelling through a plasma can appear to move at speeds both slower and faster than what we refer to as “the speed of light” – 299,792,458 ...

On 14 November, the Faculty of Physics offers quantum research to touch, participate in and marvel at. From family lectures to science slams: guests ...

Detecting tiny nanoparticles using optical devices is a challenging task and, in general, it requires an understanding of complex quantum optics concepts. In a recent ...

Applied physics is perfect for students fascinated by physics, but who don't see themselves strictly pursuing a laboratory position. You'll be prepared for a career in industry or engineering allowing ...

Physicist Jeffrey Hazboun visits WIRED to answer the internet's swirling questions about physics. How does one split an atom? Is light a wave or a particle...or both? How soon will the universe end?

For 26-year-old Dani, the quote on her ribcage once meant everything. "It was something about freedom and finding yourself," she says with a smile that edges toward embarrassment. "Now I just want to ...
