(In contrast a scalar quantity has magnitude only - eg, the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4...) This arrow represents a vector. The direction is given by the arrow, while the ...

Scientists have investigated a new two-dimensional form of matter known as Bose glass, which could help physicists study a concept known as many-body localization. Such a concept could help quantum ...

Physicists at RIKEN have developed an electronic device that hosts unusual states of matter, which could one day be useful for quantum computation. When a material exists as an ultrathin layer—a mere ...

Students learn to distinguish between scalar and vector quantities. Introduction to Vectors: Students learn to distinguish between scalar and vector quantities and how to state the magnitude and ...

One of the most important topics taught at the start of introductory physics is the idea of vectors. Students really need proficiency with them if they are to use force and momentum. Just about every ...
