The subsidence caused by coal mining could cause the destruction of roads and houses, and even the failure of infrastructures. Understanding of the mechanism of coal mining subsidence may provide ...

Physicists now have a brand-new measurement of a property of the muon called the anomalous magnetic moment that improves the precision of their previous result by a factor of 2. An international ...

The effects of multiple piers with 3D geometries on water levels during floods, as well as riverbed fluctuations and local scour after floods were examined via hydraulic model experiments. The ...

In a landmark experiment, scientists have found fresh evidence that a subatomic particle is disobeying one of science’s most watertight theories, the Standard Model of particle physics. The gap ...

Recently, Quanta has explored the collaboration between physics and mathematics on one of the most important ideas in science: quantum field theory. The basic objects of a quantum field theory are ...
