Explore 25 science experiments that defied the laws of physics, revealing mind-bending phenomena that challenge intuition.

To put one of physicists’ most important theories to the test, scientists go to extremes. Extremely strong electromagnetic fields, that is. The theory of quantum electrodynamics, which describes ...

When high-voltage electricity breaks out in open air, it rips through the atmosphere, forming chaotic, branching fingers of electric plasma. These electrical arcs are difficult to control. They branch ...

This is an example of how mathematics and physics shed light on the brain's fields and how they can yield insights for building brain-computer interface (BCI) devices." In a 2022 study, Miller and ...

As the Parker Solar Probe ventures closer to the sun, we are learning new things about our home star. In a new study, physicists led by the University of Iowa report the first definitive measurements ...

Spintronics—a technology that harnesses the electron's magnetic quantum states to carry information—could pave the way for a new generation of ultra-energy-efficient electronics. Yet a major challenge ...

Global conflicts are making renewable energy more attractive, but an all-renewable grid will require solving physics problems ...

Researchers directly observed electron-hole pairs in light-emitting electrochemical cells, finding that ion-driven electric field changes affect recombination and that stable, lower-voltage fields ...
