Chalmers researchers have developed a simple, light-based platform to study the mysterious “invisible glue” that binds materials at the nanoscale. Gold flakes floating in salt water reveal how quantum ...

The weak nuclear force doesn't play by the normal rules — and, in fact, it breaks one of the biggest rules of all. Back in the 1930s, physicists were doing experiments involving what they called "beta ...

SOLDIERS ON MANOEUVRES do relish a “sinking exercise”: the blowing up of a clapped-out warship as target practice. And during Valiant Shield 2024, a wargame in the Pacific, many witnessed a ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - As a frame of reference, each animal bite you’ll read about will be measured in pounds per square inch, or PSI. We’ll use the human bite as a baseline, which averages 162 PSI ...

A cohort of celebrity recruits will be reduced to numerical monikers, camo uniforms and barren accommodations as they train for military warfare on the newest season of "Special Forces: World's ...
