As Homer Simpson once famously phrased, “ in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics ,” but a new and completely ...

The text is now best known for introducing “Pascal’s Law” or “Principle,” that any change of pressure in an enclosed incompressible fluid (like water) is transmitted equally to all points within the ...

The laws of physics do not exist, a theoretical physicist named Sankar Das Sarma argues in a new column published by New Scientist. While we define the laws as the "ultimate laws" of our universe, ...

The dominant view in physics is simple: the laws of nature are fixed. Gravity pulls as it always has; quantum probabilities collapse with the same stubborn indifference today as billions of years ago.

When Isaac Newton inscribed onto parchment his now-famed laws of motion in 1687, he could have only hoped we'd be discussing them three centuries later. Writing in Latin, Newton outlined three ...

Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does not apply to objects on the atomic scale whose physical properties are linked ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

Discrepancies in the study of an exotic form of matter called positronium may lead to the discovery of new physics. Electricity and magnetism are two of the more familiar phenomena studied by modern ...

Had Superman had a better grasp of physics, he may have used a more delicate approach when swooping in to catch Lois Lane as she plummeted down from the sky at breakneck speed. Superman would have ...
