What happens when engineers make coffee? Espresso. Appliance Science looks at the physics of this beloved (and reviled) coffee drink. Essentially born with a camera in hand, Colin West McDonald has ...

Negative pressure governs not only the Universe or the quantum vacuum. This phenomenon, although of a different nature, appears also in liquid crystals confined in nanopores. At the Institute of ...

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have discovered new high-pressure structures in the elements tellurium and selenium. This information could allow scientists to understand more about the ...

The Laboratory for Integrated Science and Engineering, located at 11 Oxford Street, houses experimental physics labs. A team of Harvard and Boston University physicists developed a new tool to measure ...

Describe the kinetic theory and use it to describe the behavior of gases. Kinetic Theory, Atmospheric Pressure and Gas Pressure: Describe the kinetic theory and use it to describe the behavior of ...

Remarkable things happen when a “squishy” compound of manganese and sulfide (MnS2) is compressed in a diamond anvil, say researchers from the University of Rochester and the University of Nevada, Las ...

(via Seeker) Making hydrogen a metal takes lot of pressure. But after a group of scientist’s lost the world’s first sample, the pressure is really on.

Scientists have discovered the fastest possible speed of sound. A research collaboration between Queen Mary University of London, the University of Cambridge and the Institute for High Pressure ...
