Here, we quantify geophysical limits to wind power by applying additional drag forces that remove momentum from the atmosphere in a global climate model. We perform simulations in which drag is ...

Pretend, for a moment, that heat is visible, that our naked eyes can see the infrared rays shedding from objects all around. At closest range, we observe the incessant buzzing of molecules—vibrating ...

Kinetic energy is the energy of mass in motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy it has because of its motion. New 'physics shortcut' lets laptops tackle quantum problems once reserved ...

Nothing is colder than absolute zero, so it seems nonsensical to talk about negative temperature – but now there is a substance that must have just that. The revelation could shake up our ideas about ...
