The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun, and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are ...

The team used an AI method known as equation discovery to develop a model to simulate the interactions between small eddies—circular, vortex-like currents—and large-scale ones. These interactions are ...

While it's no replacement for either computer, the new device is a powerful alternative for addressing some very practical ...

For nearly a century, some of the simplest questions in quantum theory have stubbornly resisted clean answers, turning basic ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...

Watching, modeling and even playing winter sports help students internalize physics concepts, including acceleration, ...

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 ...

Ramanujan’s elegant formulas for calculating pi, developed more than a century ago, have unexpectedly resurfaced at the heart of modern physics. Researchers at IISc discovered that the same ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

Life gets busy, and sometimes those basic math skills from school days get a little rusty. Whether you're budgeting, measuring for a DIY project, or just having a math-related brain teaser thrown your ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Progress in the foundations of physics is moving slowly. And yet it moves. Today I look at the five biggest problems in physics, what their status is, and how long it will ...
