Brooks, who co-founded iRobot and spent decades at MIT, is particularly skeptical of companies like Tesla and Figure trying to teach robots dexterity by showing them videos of humans doing tasks. In a ...

Imagine a world without the glow of your screen, the hum of your fridge, or the instant communication across continents.

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...

The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors ...

In 2019, LIGO and Virgo recorded something truly bizarre – a gravitational wave event less than a tenth of a second in duration. Compared to the drawn-out chirps of black hole binaries on decaying ...

Gravity was one of the first fundamental forces studied in modern science, but fundamentally, it is not that well understood. It is a lot weaker than electromagnetism and the two nuclear forces at the ...

Next week, the winners of the 2025 Nobel Prize for Physics will be revealed. In the run-up to the announcement I’m joined in this podcast by my colleague Matin Durrani, who has surveyed the last ...

A network of optical cavities could be used to detect gravitational waves (GWs) in an unexplored range of frequencies, ...

They suggest that when two supermassive black hole binaries emit waves at almost the same frequency, their interference ...

Researchers have discovered there was an anomaly in Earth's gravitational field between 2006 and 2008, potentially caused by a mineral shift deep within Earth's mantle. GRACE satellites detected a ...

ABSTRACT: A specific structure of Standard Model (SM) particles is proposed and investigated. According to this proposal, the precursor of an elementary particle is a de Sitter space tangent to ...
