Researchers say capsizing icebergs can release enough energy to generate local tsunamis.

Inside the strange physics of soliton waves, and how one day they could help make the ultimate endless wave pool.

From Newton to today, scientists have always taken cues from the sea on how to study the nature of all things on Earth.

Last January, a Stanford group published in Science that a 1.5 nm film of NbP measured about 34 µΩ·cm at room temperature. Copper at the same thickness is around 100 µΩ·cm.…

A few weeks ago I made a post here about my project jarrydac/gl_relativity, which simulates special relativistic effects using OpenGL. I would like to share the alpha version of relativistic space invaders, which demonstrates some of the visual effects of…

Hello. Need some advice regarding college choices for BSc Physics. I am an Indian student and completed my Cambridge A levels with A* in all Math, Physics, Chem and Bio.…

Hi all! I'm graduating next year with a Physics BS and would love advice. I would like a job in mechanical/energy/environmental engineering. I have relevant experience from working in a lab with a mechanical engineer PhD, so I know some basic CAD,…

What would be the best way to produce the overall loudest sound from pulses of escaping gas (compressed air in this case)exiting a confined tube into the atmosphere?…

Me and my girlfriend went to see Brian Cox live, and in the end he gave a beautiful speech about progress and purpose etc etc. I asked my girlfriend what she thought about the show and she told me that her least favorite part was, in fact, the ending…

I was really into physics and olympiads during my school years, made it into national level. Few years after I lost a spark and now going through university classes feels like prison. Need advices on getting my spark back.…

Hello, I’m doing a PhD in simulations of magnetic materials. In two weeks, we will have two visitors for one week who are 16-year-olds participating in a European high school project to familiarise with research.…

TLDR : Need help in self studying Physics Hey, I am currently 19, was planning to do Bachelor's in Physics from a good university but that seem not so possible now. Exam is around the corner and I don't feel that prepared.…

The game will be out in about a week. It is a game about electrical DC circuits where you solve puzzles. The solver and circuit board are as realistic as possible and I used nodal analysis to simulate the circuits.…

Hey people, I am currently studying theoretical particle physics but had to do a bit of reading on general relativity, which I barely know anything about, for some exercises we were given.…

Hello all, I previously asked this question in r/AskPhysics, but no one answered. I am investigating the possibility of making a scale model for a rotating tube furnace. Sand like particles flow through the furnace while being heated.…

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed an optical device that reveals hidden images and changes colors in response to different levels of humidity.…
