Getting an up-close view of life at the cellular level can be as simple as placing onion skin under a microscope and adjusting the knobs. Peering deeper, into the heart of the atoms within, isn't as ...

“This project started with a simple question: why do basketball shoes squeak?” Adel Djellouli, a study co-author and ...

Basketball shoes on a gym floor, bicycle brakes in need of a tune-up, or the squeal of tires are everyday examples of squeaking sounds. Such sounds have long been attributed to stick-slip friction, or ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of physics. Despite enormous progress in cosmology and particle physics, we still ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

A team of EPFL researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account ...

Dialogue explains the plot, but visual language dictates the emotional stakes. A revolver left carelessly on a sideboard. A glass of water trembling on a table. The mechanical stutter of a clock in a ...

About a week ago, I got a text from a close friend saying she was embarrassed that I saw her sunroom in its current state when I took care of her dogs while she was out of town. I rewound my internal ...
