When machine learning is used to suggest new potential scientific insights or directions, algorithms sometimes offer ...

This story is part of Short Wave's series Space Camp about all the weird, wonderful things happening in the universe. Check out the rest of the series. What does it take to launch into space? Other ...

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 ...

The weak nuclear force doesn't play by the normal rules — and, in fact, it breaks one of the biggest rules of all.

The same pulling force that causes “tears” in a glass of wine also shapes embryos. It’s another example of how genes exploit ...

STOCKHOLM, Sweden ‒ U.S.-based scientists John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for "experiments that revealed quantum physics in action," paving the way ...

The idea of emergent gravity is still new and requires a lot of assumptions in its calculations to make it work. But if experimental evidence ever proves it real, we would need to totally rewrite the ...

Using optical tweezers composed of laser light, researchers have developed a novel way to manipulate individual atoms and create a state of hyper-entanglement. This breakthrough could lead to new ...

Russell M. Kulsrud, 97, a pioneering theoretical physicist whose work helped define the modern fields of plasma physics and ...
