A fully loaded Navy warship doesn’t slow down easily, which is why its anchor must absorb unbelievable stress. When the chain ...

Water rolls on h-BN but encounters friction on graphene. Atomic structure and substrate shape nanoscale movement, guiding advances in coatings and anti-icing surfaces.

Publication: Understanding water behaviour on 2D material interfaces through single-molecule motion on h-BN and graphene.

An elegant new equation identifies the surprisingly orderly, mathematical way in which things break, shatter, and fall apart.

A world preparing for one interstellar mystery is now confronting the legacy of another mission built for a different kind of threat. A silent shift in our planetary-defense strategy is underway.

For nearly a century, scientists have understood how crystalline materials—such as metals and semiconductors—bend without ...

In this video, we dive into the physics of a car moving on a banked curve with friction. Learn how forces like gravity, friction, and the banking angle come into play, and see the motion in action! #C ...

Nearly a century after astronomers first proposed dark matter to explain the strange motions of galaxies, scientists may finally be catching a glimpse of it. A University of Tokyo researcher analyzing ...

A research team at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has engineered soft materials with highly ...

Yet, on another scale, single-celled algae and spermatozoa manage to advance rapidly and with ease in highly viscous fluids ...

Vatican Observatory scientists Fr. Gionti and Fr. Galaverni reveal new insights into General Relativity, showing Jordan and ...
