Hillslopes in Arctic regions with frozen soils can host a suite of geometric patterns, from circles and stripes to polygonal ...

Researchers have recreated the physics of extracting energy from a spinning black hole using a stationary device that ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicts that a rotating mass like the Earth pulls the fabric of space and ...

The findings could help improve the efficiency and structural safety of internal aircraft components and nozzles in ...

Trapped ion quantum computing noise hit a 30-year wall until ETH Zurich researchers built a Penning-trap scanner using a ...

Distributed acoustic sensing could provide a new tool for tracking whales around the world, even when they aren't vocalizing ...

Black holes do their most important work in hiding. The boundary that defines them, the event horizon, seals off anything that crosses it from the rest of the universe.

Scientists didn’t understand why independently oscillating microscopic particles suddenly begin moving in perfect sync when grouped together. Researchers showed that fluid-driven hydrodynamic ...

Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations inside an insulating material, overturning long-held assumptions. Their work at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory suggests that the effect ...

During Machine Design’s Motion Systems Takeover Week (Oct. 20–24, 2025), we explored how the fusion of mechanical motion and data-driven control is reshaping high-precision applications across ...
