By establishing common schemas for how characters move and react within a scene, the CMI Interest Group ensures that complex digital assets remain portable and functional across different engines, ...

A flame goes out, and something in the room shifts with it. Not because matter has vanished, but because a structure has ...

Tiffanwy Klippel-Cooper of OmnigeniQ explains how physics-based modelling could help researchers better understand drug ...

Friction requires contact. Two surfaces rub together. Energy is lost. Heat is generated. Things slow down. The universe makes sense again. Except… now it doesn’t. Because researchers have decided—very ...

Foams have long baffled scientists because liquid drains from them far sooner than theory predicts. New research shows the reason: the bubbles don’t stay put—they rearrange, opening pathways for ...

Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...

Large language models lack grounding in physical causality — a gap world models are designed to fill. Here's how three ...

The original story “ Physicists solved a decades-old mystery about static electricity ” is published in The Brighter Side of ...

A microscopic layer of environmental carbon solves a long-standing mystery about static electricity's true origins.

Static electricity may seem simple. Students often learn that rubbing a balloon against their hair will cause negatively ...

There’s a shocking lack of understanding of the physics underlying this commonplace phenomenon, but researchers are on the ...
