Over the past 60 years, scientists have largely succeeded in building a computer model of Earth to see what the future holds.
Lauda and his colleagues solve some of the problems with topological qubits by using a class of theoretical particles they call neglectons, named for how they were derived from overlooked theoretical ...
The new normal' is a pitifully inadequate phrase, a stumbling step towards accuracy that results in misdirection.

How to Measure Nothing Better

Cold atoms could also potentially measure much lower vacuum pressures than ion gauges can. The current lowest pressure they’ve reliably measured is around 10 -9 Pa, and NIST scientists are working on ...
The idea of creating computer programs that can mimic the brain — wasn't always accepted. But it fascinated Geoffrey Hinton.
Full Waveform Inversion Technology is transforming seismic imaging in oil and gas with high-res subsurface models, AI ...
At its core, a Markov chain is a model for predicting the next event in a sequence based only on its state. It possesses ...
The researchers found that a slightly curved meniscus allows more wave energy to pass through the barrier. Conversely, if the meniscus curves more steeply, it reduces the energy transported by the ...
The precise imaging of many-body systems, which are comprised of many interacting particles, can help to validate theoretical ...
A new study shines a little more light on the strange mechanics that lead to the birth of rogue waves, and it's less ...
In January I wrote a piece titled “ 5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know .” Lots of you weighed in with your own ...
Ferrimagnets are a special type of magnet where different atoms' magnetic moments partially cancel each other out, creating a ...
