December 19, 2016
At the very lowest temperatures, electricity and “superfluids” flow without resistance, and other weird quantum phenomena appear. Scientists can now cool matter down to less than a millionth of a degree above absolute zero (Kelvin) using lasers that trap the atoms and slow t...

November 6, 2017
Friction has been a subject of scientific inquiry at least since the pioneering experiments of Leonardo da Vinci. More than 500 years later, researchers are still refining our understanding of this everyday physical phenomenon, which is present in everything from our footsteps, t...

January 16, 2017
While studying trees during his postdoctoral fellowship, Dr. Tamir Klein made such a startling discovery that his research supervisor at the University of Basel at first declared that the finding must have been a mistake. In the forest, trees are known to compete for resources su...
