We usually think of surface tension turning droplets into spheres in order to minimize their area. But spheres aren’t the only shape surface tension can enforce. Here, researchers suspend tiny droplets of oil in a soapy fluid. At the right …
Yesterday I was at Peter Scholze’s Seminaire Bourbaki talk, his write-up is available here. It was advertised as an exposition of the recent proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture, but Pierre Colmez accurately describes it as something much more: the …
It’s no exaggeration to say that the AIP Emilio Segre Visual Archives contains thousands of group portraits; we currently have 7,159 images tagged with “portraits, group,” and possibly more group portraits that are not tagged. Many group portraits tend to …
Physicists discovered new properties of the strong force by analyzing what happens when light-speed particles skim by each other. Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy …
📖Read Time: 15 minutes 📊Readability: Advanced 📐 (Technical knowledge needed) 🔖Core Topics: dimension, vector, space, dimensional, dimensions Abstract It took until the last century for physicists and mathematicians in the Netherlands to question the Euclidean concept of dimension as length, …
Recently, Finnish researchers made waves by announcing progress in the field of wireless energy transfer using a combination of sound waves, laser systems, and electromagnetic radiation. While they haven’t miraculously figured out how to beam energy long distances with perfect …

Uranus is one of our solar system’s oddest inhabitants, stuck spinning on its side with a tilted and offset magnetosphere. To better understand it, a team observed the planet for 17 hours with JWST. The near-infrared measurements gave new insight …
Chemical engineer Paula Hammond, biomedical engineer Anjelica Gonzalez, and physicist Shirley Ann Jackson, describe their best accomplishments in oral history interviews. In celebration of Women’s History Month, I wanted to highlight some of the achievements of Black women in the …
