Here is classic (and difficult) physics problem that poses an interesting question: Take two points in space, Point 1 and Point 2. What is the path from point 1 to 2 that a frictionless object could ...

A new tool to break down and segment large data set problems and problems with many parameters in particle physics could have a wide range of applications. One of the major challenges in particle ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) In today’s video, I have a brief rundown of my 10 favorite physics paradoxes and big problems. If you have trouble sleeping at night, this will give you something to think ...

I'm completely stunned,' UC Berkeley professor says after winning a Nobel for work on quantum physics, the technology behind cell phones and more.

John Clarke, Michel H Devoret, and John M Martinis have been honoured for their work on quantum mechanical effects. What are ...

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 ...
