NASA ISS Science Officer Mike Fincke began working with the Fluid Merging Viscosity (FMVM) experiment. This physical science experiment is studying viscosity -- a property of fluids that causes them ...
Practical work has had a central and distinct role in chemistry. Experimentation is the essence of learning science. The purpose of doing experiments is to teach the principles of scientific inquiry, ...
Exploring the fundamental laws of physics has often required huge accelerators and particles colliding at high energies. But table-top experiments, usually employing exquisitely tuned lasers and ...
Preparations for the Spanish Soyuz mission on the International Space Station (ISS) in October took another step forward with the docking of an unmanned Progress M1-10 spacecraft with the ...
Stuart Alan Rice, a longtime professor at the University of Chicago whose pioneering research shaped the field of physical chemistry in the second half of the 20th century, died Dec. 22 at the age of ...
Physical chemists are focused on understanding the physical properties of atoms and molecules, the way chemical reactions work, and what these properties reveal. Their discoveries are based on ...
