How is it that quantum physics governs the very smallest things in the universe, yet classical, Newtonian rules describe the movements of everything else, from people to planets? In the second of two ...

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 ...

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 ...

(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 ...

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 ...

Sven, a sales leader, received a call from a major customer who was furious. Their order arrived late, the product was damaged, and to top it off, their invoice didn’t reflect the volume discount ...

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 ...

Do you sense something problematic about the word “problematic”? The way it’s used has changed a great deal in recent years, so much that it can now seem a little shifty. The journey that brought us ...

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 ...
