In classical physics, anything driven hard enough will eventually heat up, lose coherence, and settle into disorder. A new ...
Classrooms turned into open-air laboratories on January 8, 2026, as 200 students of Zilla Parishad High School, Gachibowli, ...
Researchers at TU Wien have discovered a quantum system where energy and mass move with perfect efficiency. In an ultracold ...
The tech industry is making sure kids will be hooked on AI for generations -- in a huge experiment students never consented ...

I melted wood with friction

A hands-on experiment shows how intense friction can generate enough heat to char and soften wood, breaking down the physics ...
Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...
For nearly two centuries, textbooks blamed icy spills on pressure and friction, but new simulations tell another story. The team shows that ice can remain slippery near minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit ...
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper is to compare the differences in wheel/rail friction temperature under traction and braking, for further analysis of the distinction of adhesion performance under ...
A viral online trend has been catching the attention of many young people, showing ordinary objects seemingly sticking to walls without the use of glue or tape. According to Kuya Kim's report on "24 ...
In physics, breakthroughs are rare. Experiments are slow, expensive and often end up refining, rather than rewriting, our understanding of the universe. But what if the only constraint on scientific ...
A mad scientist introduces himself to us ("Come! I show you around!") and explains his specialty is crossing things ("I cross a pine mit a apple and I get a pineapple!"). His biggest ambition is cross ...
