Students will learn how to categorize matter as either pure substances or mixtures. Students will apply tests, based on physical properties of matter samples, to determine whether a mixture is ...

One of the most important tasks for physics is to describe natural observations using a minimal set of principles. This approach allows researchers to understand phenomena of impressive complexity ...

Before scientists discovered the new state of matter last week, we were basically all used to just three states of matter. After all, during our daily lives we encounter some variety of solids, ...

Active matter can have macroscopic properties that defy the usual laws of hydrodynamics. Now these tell-tale properties have been traced down to the non-equilibrium character and handedness of ...

An illustration of an active black hole, one that accretes matter and accelerates a portion of it outwards in two perpendicular jets. The normal matter undergoing an acceleration like this describes ...
