Researchers were inspired by marinated eggs to demonstrate how diffusion works in an easy and quantifiable way. The basis of the recipe is marinating hard boiled eggs in vinegar or brine, which cures ...

Matrix diffusion in crystalline rocks refers to the movement of solute species through the interconnected pore network of the rock matrix. This process plays a crucial role in determining the ...

Established surface-science tools could help industrial scientists to fast-track the evaluation of advanced materials for energy-storage applications Surface physics: the OCI team has integrated a UHV ...

This article is an extended version of the article “The double-slit experiment” that appeared in the September 2002 issue of Physics World (p15). It has been further extended to include three letters ...

Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works, a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and ...

Physicists often find thrifty, ingenious ways to reuse equipment and resources. What do you do with 800 square feet of scintillator from an old physics experiment? Cut it up and give it to high ...
