Mathematical equations have shaped our understanding of the universe, and these nine have played a key role in changing the world.

For more than a decade, World Radio Day has been celebrated every 13 February. A technology whose authorship is disputed ...

William Matthaeus, the Martin A. Pomerantz Chair of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Delaware, has won UD’s highest faculty honor — the Francis Alison Award — in recognition of his ...

Hertz validated Maxwell’s theory through experimentally proving the existence of electromagnetic waves. He confirmed that light is a form of radiation and, using a spark-gap transmitter, in 1888 ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

For over a century, the Maxwell’s Demon paradox has haunted physics. This thought experiment suggests that a tiny, ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences have unveiled ...

These findings provide further insights into the mysterious relationship between the quantum world and thermodynamics. While ...

The second law of thermodynamics, a cornerstone of modern physics, states that entropy—a measure of disorder—never spontaneously decreases. It governs everything from the efficiency of engines to the ...
