Modern physics explains much of how the universe works, from atoms to galaxies. Yet some problems remain stubbornly unresolved, resisting even the most advanced theories. These puzzles expose gaps in ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Ever wondered how much power is lost in an extension cord? 🔌⚡ In this video, we solve a real physics problem by analyzing resistance, current, and power dissipation in an extension cord. Learn how ...

As a physics major, it feels like I spend the majority of my waking life solving problems. I’ve calculated the amount of water you get from mixing different ratios of steam and ice, the path of ...

Axions are hypothetical light particles that could solve two different physics problems, as they could explain why some nuclear interactions don't violate time symmetry and are also promising dark ...

New technologies are enabling scientists to tackle previously elusive physics problems. The macroscopic realm, which consists of everything from falling balls to orbiting planets, can be explained by ...

The study, conducted by Brookhaven theoretical physicist Weiguo Yin and described in a recent paper published in Physical Review B, is the first paper emerging from the "AI Jam Session" earlier this ...
