Rotational motion is relative
May 20, 2016 (SPX)
It has been one hundred years since the publication of Einstein's general theory of relativity in May 1916. In a paper recently published in EPJ Plus, Norwegian...
Photonic billiards might be the newest game
May 20, 2016 (SPX)
When one snooker ball hits another, both spring away from each other in an elastic manner. In the case of two photons a similar process - the elastic collision ...
Plasma physics' giant leap
May 19, 2016 (SPX)
