A hands-on physics lab exploring how to plot electric fields and electric potential. Visualize how charges influence space ...

In physics, some waves behave in a surprising way: instead of spreading out and fading, they hold their shape as they travel ...

As the Parker Solar Probe ventures closer to the sun, we are learning new things about our home star. In a new study, physicists led by the University of Iowa report the first definitive measurements ...

Can light behave like a whirlwind? It turns out it can—and such "optical tornadoes" have now been created in an extremely ...

A new theoretical framework reveals why magnetoelectric nanoparticles behave unpredictably and how their nonlinear physics ...

For the first time, scientists have measured a long-sought global electric field in the Earth’s atmosphere. This field, called the ambipolar electric field, was predicted to exist decades ago but ...

These are just a few of the demonstrations of physics effects you'll find at New Mexico State University's "Physics Fun Day." If you have a sweet tooth, try the ice cream made with the help of liquid ...

Come one, come all. See an electron gun demonstration, watch what happens when atmospheric pressure drops in a vacuum chamber ...
