WashU physicists build quantum sensors in boron nitride sheets to study magnetism and stress under extreme pressure.

The world of quantum physics is already mysterious, but what happens when that strange realm of subatomic particles is put under immense pressure? Observing quantum effects under pressure has proven ...

More than 700,000 GCSE physics students could be without a specialist teacher, a report has warned. The Institute of Physics (IOP) has called for urgent action to tackle the shortage in physics ...

An object in a fluid is displacing some of the fluid. The upthrust force is equal in size to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. If the upthrust is less than the weight of the object, the ...
