In 1900, at the grand amphitheater of the Sorbonne in Paris, David Hilbert stood before a crowd of mathematicians and ...

Exactly 100 years ago, famed Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (yes, the cat guy) postulated his eponymous equation that ...

Researchers have developed a new quantum theory of gravity which describes gravity in a way that's compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, opening the door to an improved understanding ...

Since the mechanism was discovered in 1901, in a shipwreck thought to date to around 60 BC, researchers have struggled to work out exactly why it was built. X-ray scans and digital reconstructions ...

The world-famous mathematician Alan Turing found a possible mechanism for iconic animal patterns thanks to differential equations ...

Hooper has been studying the physics of bowling for several years, including an analysis of the 2017 Weber Cup, as well as ...

If their work withstands scrutiny, it will mark a major stride toward grounding physics in math and may open the door to analogous breakthroughs in other areas of physics. If you're enjoying this ...

In that work, Meichanetzidis and his colleagues used a quantum computer to calculate knot ‘invariants’ — numbers that describe particular types of knot. The invariants they looked at were ...

And, oddly, they morph from one flavor to another as they move through space and time, a discovery recognized by the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2015. The underlying mechanism that makes these ...
