To get lifelike movement from synthetic materials, physics researchers can embrace chaos
Chemical reactions that are sensitive to force could help power engineered materials that beat, twitch and shiver like living tissue for new applications in robotics and other technologies
MicroBooNE experiment finds no evidence for the long-sought ‘sterile neutrino’
Physicist Joshua Spitz, doctoral student Benjamin Bogart, and the MicroBooNE team conclude there is less than a 5% chance that anomalies in earlier neutrino experiments can be explained by the existence of a single new particle.
