(Phys.org)—In 2013, a group of physicists from Austria proposed the existence of a new and unusual force called the "blackbody force." Blackbodies—objects that absorb all incoming light and therefore appear black at room ...
Our physical attraction to hot bodies is real, according to UC Berkeley physicists.
