Sunlight melts snowflakes. Fire turns logs into soot and smoke. A hot oven will make a magnet lose its pull. Physicists know from countless examples that if you crank the temperature high enough, ...

Physicists have long-suspected that the building blocks of protons experienced quantum entanglement. Now, researchers have the first direct evidence — after using a trick to infer subatomic ...

Both are not subjects we customarily hear about, but both are stepping-stones to the sciences of plasma physics, nuclear fusion, and clinical diagnostic techniques, about which we hear lots. Without ...
