One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...

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 ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers from Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) and the University of Surrey tested two ultra-thin, sheet-like materials with a honeycomb ...

Have you ever tried to enjoy a book or a movie on a long trip, only to be stopped by motion sickness? That’s because while your eyes are focused on a steady point, your vestibular system is still ...

While atmospheric turbulence is a familiar culprit of rough flights, the chaotic movement of turbulent flows remains an unsolved problem in physics. To gain insight into the system, a team of ...

Daniel Whiteson and Andy Warner’s upcoming book is a philosophical exploration of the humanity behind our desire to find aliens. Reading time 6 minutes At Gizmodo, we love a good story about ...

The Lions had a touchdown catch by quarterback Jared Goff taken off the board over a technicality. And the technical violation was embedded in the play as it was practiced. Hall of Fame head coach ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

Shekar Natarajan is the founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI. This example is one of many that demonstrates how supply chains are complex, interconnected, interdependent systems. They follow the ...
