In physics, nonreciprocity occurs when a system's response varies depending on the direction in which waves or signals are propagating within it. This asymmetry arises from a break in so-called ...

Scientists have developed a new model that explains how photon efficiency changes at higher wavelengths, paving the way for a more efficient quantum internet. Reading time 2 minutes Materials ...

There are roof shapes and ratios that maximize heat retainment and energy efficiency and, interestingly, ancient Italian architects and builders seemed to know it, too. While serving as a visiting ...

Working in tandem A perovskite-on-silicon tandem solar cell. (Courtesy: Oxford PV) Late in 2020, scientists in Germany and Lithuania announced a new milestone in so-called “tandem” solar cells – that ...

Flexcompute, Northrop Grumman, and NVIDIA have unveiled a physics-informed AI system that accelerates spacecraft plume impingement simulations by 100 times. The technology embeds physical laws into AI ...

A new report explains why commercial aircraft, despite being technically capable, rarely exceed speeds of 600mph. Physical limits like drag and the approach to the sound barrier, combined with high ...
