New research shows that traditional physics labs, which strive to reinforce the concepts students learn in lecture courses, can actually have a negative impact on students. At the same time, ...

THIS rather high-priced book, which is beautifully bound and produced, is a laboratory manual not apparently designed to cover any special examination course, but it appears to be quite suitable for ...

The Nature Index tracks primary research articles from 145 natural-science and health-science journals, chosen based on reputation by an independent group of researchers. The Nature Index provides ...

Junior faculty in experimental particle physics and astrophysics talk about how they got into physics, their favorite parts of the experimental process and how they spend their time outside the lab.

Scientists at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have identified a long-standing asymmetry in how fusion plasma distributes ...

UPTON, NY—Armando Rúa, a collaborator with the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, was ...

Studying and designing novel materials is a central application of quantum mechanics. Chemists, materials scientists, and physicists focus on subtle interactions in quantum materials and to uncover ...
