Imagine standing on top of a mountain. From this vantage point, we can see picturesque valleys and majestic ridges below, and streams wind their way downhill. If a drop of rain falls somewhere on this ...

Physicists and mathematicians at the University of Konstanz, ETH Zürich (Switzerland) and CNR INO in Trento (Italy) use concepts from topography to topologically classify and investigate ...

A new equation calculates how many fragments of each size will be produced when an object breaks. The principle could help ...

Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in ...

Based on a list compiled by the American Institute of Physics, UNG had 19 physics graduates in 2023-24. As impressive as ...

A team led by the BRAINS Center for Brain-Inspired Computing at the University of Twente has demonstrated a new way to make electronic materials adapt in a manner comparable to machine learning. Their ...

The “2theXtreme” display includes 40 exhibits that show off activities such as snowboarding, competitve cycling, music mixing ...

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.

We apparently have more in common with some shorebirds than we previously thought. An elegant new equation identifies the surprisingly orderly, mathematical way in which things break, shatter, and ...

Recent developments in trapped-ion platforms are opening towards quantum simulation of chemical dynamics. Here, the authors demonstrate independent control of spin-phonon coupling and reservoir ...

In this episode of Physics World Stories, theoretical physicist, cosmologist and author Paul Davies discusses his latest book, Quantum 2.0: the Past, Present and Future of Quantum Physics. A Regents ...
