A fried breakfast food popular in Spain provided the inspiration for the development of doughnut-shaped droplets that may provide scientists with a new approach for studying fundamental issues in physics, mathematics, and materials.

She will address the graduating class at the school's ceremony at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in Callaway Auditorium at the LaGrange College campus.

Ball State University is investigating a complaint that one of its assistant professors in the department of physics and astronomy is preaching rather than teaching.

A group of physicists from the University of Glasgow's School of Physics and Astronomy has developed a technique called 3D computational imaging or 'ghost' imaging that allows them to produce detailed images of objects in just a few seconds.

Exclusive: Jay-Z's longtime engineer credits 9th Wonder as inspiration for his GrammyU speaker series & reflects on his first interaction with West Coast Hip Hop.

One promising material for a potential new generation of recording media is an alloy of iron and platinum with an ordered crystal structure.

A new tool being developed by UT Arlington assistant professor of physics could help scientists map and track the interactions between neurons inside different areas of the brain.

University of Innsbruck physicists led by Rainer Blatt and Peter Zoller recent experimentally gained a deep insight into the nature of quantum mechanical phase transitions.

The allure of personalized medicine has made new, more efficient ways of sequencing genes a top research priority.

Abell 222/223 galaxies, showing a filament of dark matter stretching between the two galaxies Recently the media has been saturated with overly-hyped reports that NASA's Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer may have detected dark matter.

Gorilla Glass's residual stress can be explained by observing how the motion of individual atoms affects the entire system of the material Alterations to the usual glass production process, such as putting the material under stress, can introduce effects that linger even after the material hardens.

IT WOULD be easy to hate this place. It is decrepit and grey, and feels overwhelmingly like a neglected university campus.The fact that the March sky is the colour of damp concrete and releasing sleet that barely falls does not help.

Cavemen may not have invented the wheel, or had any grasp of nuclear physics, but they were better at drawing the walking movement of horses and other four-legged animals than most latter-day artists, research has shown.

A team of scientists has won a berth on a tiny satellite to explore one of NASA's most important frontiers in climate studies: the imbalance in Earth's energy budget and the extent to which fast-changing phenomena, like clouds, contribute to that imbalance.

Scientist. Innovator. Rebel. For decades, Freeman Dyson has been regarded as one of the world's most important thinkers.

Picture an early scene from The Wizard of Oz: Dorothy hurries home as a tornado gathers in what was once a clear Kansas sky.

The Large Hadron Collider was built in the pursuit of pure science, but research into quantum mechanics might soon yield enormous benefits for computing.

No, this isn't from an upcoming Spider-Man movie, but rather a homemade Doctor Octopus costume that comes complete with working mechanical tentacles.

Exchange of electromagnetic energy is fairly well understood. The force carrier, the photon , is readily detectable and manipulated, making the physics of electromagnetic radiation easy to study.

A massive telescope buried in the Antarctic ice has detected 28 extremely high-energy neutrinos -- elementary particles that likely originate outside our solar system.
