Duke professor probes 'why time flies and beauty never dies'

It's a happy revelation to learn how physics explains our everyday perceptions of time and beauty thanks to the work of Duke University engineering professor Adrian Bejan who presents the physics involved in understandable terms.

Nanoclusters self-organize into centimeter-scale hierarchical assemblies

Nature may abhor a vacuum, but it sure loves structure. Complex, self-organized assemblies are found throughout the natural world, from double-helix DNA molecules to the photonic crystals that make butterfly wings so colorful and iridescent.

‘Frustrated’ nanomagnets order themselves through disorder

Extremely small arrays of magnets with strange and unusual properties can order themselves by increasing entropy, or the tendency of physical systems to disorder, a behavior that appears to contradict standard thermodynamics—but doesn’t.

New SUEDE shoes apply smart tech to ankle injury prevention

Ankle sprains are one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries, usually involving a stretched or torn ligament in the joint.
