It was previously thought that children younger than 7 couldn't find efficient solutions to complex problems, but new ...

Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise ...

Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

Convergent evolution—where distinct species independently evolve similar traits or functions, such as the wings of birds and ...

Physicist Arvind Murugan earns Schmidt Science Polymath award for work at intersection of physics, biology, computation and materials science ...

"With this, we can detect very tiny changes in both position and momentum at once, beyond the limit of any classical sensor," the authors explained.
