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

At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider on the edge of Geneva, scientists have reported a surprising twist in the behavior of matter.

A new theoretical framework shows how subtle fluctuations in spacetime could be detected using existing interferometers.

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 ...

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

Google's Genie generates infinite interactive worlds from text. The secret? AI models compress reality's rules into ...

Everyone has met at least one woman ready to divorce her spouse over his neglect of her. No matter how often she talks to him, begs him, or pleads with him, he never does anything that could fix the ...

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) provides valuable insights into the physical processes within batteries – but how can these measurements directly inform physics-based models? In this ...

In physics, breakthroughs are rare. Experiments are slow, expensive and often end up refining, rather than rewriting, our understanding of the universe. But what if the only constraint on scientific ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Here’s a test for infants: Show them a glass of water on a desk. Hide it behind a wooden board. Now move the board toward the glass. If ...

Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the detector's first results are in — and they're very promising. When you purchase ...

But as the chip maker seeks to parlay its semiconductor dominance into control of the full stack, vendor lock-in is a major risk, says one analyst. Nvidia hopes that its new open-source AI model for ...
