- Physicists think they've resolved the proton size puzzle
Physicists have resolved a 15-year debate over the proton's charge radius, with recent experiments favoring a smaller radius over new physics. Studies published in Nature and Physical Review Letters suggest the proton radius puzzle is settled, aligning with quantum mechanics rather than the outdated Bohr model.
- "Oobleck" still holds some surprises
Oobleck, a non-Newtonian fluid made from corn starch and water, exhibits unexpected behavior when dropped onto a surface, as revealed by recent research published in Physical Review Letters. The study highlights how its viscosity changes under force, distinguishing it from typical Newtonian fluids like water.
