A new JSTAT study shows how to compute the minimum energy cells use to sustain certain metabolic pathways while suppressing ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

With an applied physics: mechanics degree, you’ll combine physics principles with the design experience of mechanical engineering as you prepare for graduate school or industry work. Become who you’re ...

In 1900, German theoretical physicist Max Planck accidentally gave birth to the field of quantum mechanics (aka quantum physics) when he tried to investigate why the results of his black body ...

Meet the team Left to right are Yu Yang, Matteo Fadel, Yiwen Chu and Igor Kladarić. They were the main researchers at ETH Zurich who created the groundbreaking mechanical qubit. (Courtesy: Yu Yang/ETH ...

The universe is governed by two sets of seemingly incompatible laws of physics – there’s the classical physics we’re used to on our scale, and the spooky world of quantum physics on the atomic scale.

Mechanics is the branch of Physics which helps us in observing and analyzing the motion of any physical object under the influence of force or when the object is at rest (F=0). It can be broadly ...
