Artificial intelligence is colliding with a hard physical limit: the energy and heat of today’s silicon-based chips. As ...

A new concept for energy transfer between gravitational waves and light. When massive cosmic objects such as black holes merge or neutron stars crash into one another, they can produce gravitational ...

Far from being a solely quantum mechanical phenomenon, interference occurs with all kinds of waves, including water waves and sound waves. Interference is the process in which two or more waves of the ...

Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

This story was originally written for and published by Drexel News. Researchers in the College of Engineering have developed a thin film device, fabricated by spray coating, that can block ...

Prof. Ralf Schützhold at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has devised an experiment that allows for not only the ...

A recent discovery by materials science researchers in Drexel University’s College of Engineering might one day prevent electronic devices and components from going haywire when they’re too close to ...

Introduction You may have heard that light consists of particles called photons. How could something as simple as light be made of particles? Physicists describe light as both a particle and a wave.

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...
