Relativity Theory, formulated by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century, revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity. It consists of two main components: Special Relativity and General Relativity. Special Relativity, introduced in 1905, posits that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers and introduces the concept that the speed … Read more
Renewable energy refers to power derived from sources that are naturally replenishing and sustainable over the long term. Unlike fossil fuels, which are finite and contribute to environmental pollution, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal harness natural processes to generate electricity and heat. Solar panels capture sunlight, wind turbines convert wind … Read more
Quantum mechanics is a fundamental branch of physics that describes the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic levels. Unlike classical mechanics, which deals with macroscopic objects, quantum mechanics explains phenomena that occur at very small scales, where particles such as electrons and photons exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties. Key principles include quantization, … Read more
How much fuel can we add to the fire while still maintaining control? Metaphorically speaking, that’s the question one team at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has been asking themselves lately. Now, they believe they have the answer for one particular scenario. It’s all a part of the Lab’s work … Read more
