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

To take a detached view, it could not be said to matter very much if most of the outstanding problems of physics were to remain unsolved. Yet it matters that we should continue to try to solve them, ...

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 ...

It might sound strange to think about physics (which often involves a lot of theory and hypotheticals) helping people solve mathematics problems. However, physics follows many math patterns very ...

Some real-world phenomena look like they break the laws of physics—until you understand what’s actually happening. This video ...

The fragility and laws of quantum physics generally make the characterisation of quantum systems time-consuming. Furthermore, when a quantum system ...

This article was originally featured on Knowable Magazine. Isaac Newton would never have discovered the laws of motion had he studied only cats. Suppose you hold a cat, stomach up, and drop it from a ...
