Can a single particle have a temperature? It may seem impossible with our standard understanding of temperature, but columnist Jacklin Kwan finds that it’s not exactly ruled out in the quantum realm ...

On paper, many of the world’s most famous weapons looked like reliable successes. In practice, desert sand, jungle humidity, and arctic cold often had other ideas. Systems that performed well in ...

Quantum computing has long been constrained by the messy reality of controlling fragile qubits with bulky, power-hungry ...

Engineers have long battled a problem that can cause loud, damaging oscillations inside gas turbines and aircraft engines: ...

Okay, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) might have uncovered the Higgs boson and helped redefine our concept of physical ...

Humanity has changed an awful lot in the past 58 Years. The moon? Not so much. It was in 1968 that astronauts first drew near ...

Winter crashes on icy roads rarely happen because a driver could not get moving. They […] ...
