Pack enough string-like objects together, and they will begin to align with one another. But replace the strings with worms ...

An international research team led by Brandeis University has achieved a major breakthrough in the field of active matter physics, as detailed in a study published this week in Physical Review X. This ...

Parts of the brain not traditionally associated with learning science become active when people are confronted with solving physics problems, a new study shows. The researchers, led by Eric Brewe, PhD ...

Academic institutions are increasingly adopting active learning methods to enhance educational outcomes. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we investigated neurobiological differences ...

Active matter systems are made up of units that consume energy. Physicists group flocks of birds, molecular motors and layers of vibrating grains together in this category because they all extract ...

Even scientists and educators who have an abiding love of physics acknowledge that much of society at large doesn’t share their affection. The study of force and motion has long been regarded as the ...
