80% heat, 10% shaking: US ‘lab-quakes’ reveal physics of earthquake energy flow
It turns out that the familiar ground-shaking is only a small portion (10%) of the total energy released. While a tiny fraction of the quake’s energy (less than 1%) fractures rocks, up to 80% of it is ...
Ice generates electricity as a response to stress when it bends. Experiments with pure and saline ice found that with enough ...
The internet is full of people claiming to uncover conspiracies in politics and business. During the pandemic, public health experts and pharmaceutical companies became popular targets. Now an ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. There are precision measurements, and then there’s the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. In each of LIGO’s twin ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. When she was 10 years old, Rose Yu got a birthday present that would change her life—and, potentially, the way we study physics. Her ...
In the 1920s, when quantum mechanics was young, physicists Jane Dewey and Laura Chalk performed some of the first experimental tests of the theory, based on a phenomenon called the Stark effect. Later ...

ABSTRACT: In 3M continuum theories, micro deformations greatly influence macro deformation physics. Thus, in 3M theories we need a mechanism of micro deformation from which macro deformation can be ...
