Astronomers have discovered an extraordinary celestial system containing a runaway pulsar fleeing the scene of a massive stellar supernova explosion. What makes this system even more spectacular is ...

The New Scientist Book Club made a jump backwards through time for our latest read, Alex Foster’s Circular Motion, moving from the millennia-ahead future of Adam Roberts’s Lake of Darkness to a world ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. At the turn of the 20th century, the renowned mathematician David Hilbert had a grand ambition to bring a more rigorous, mathematical ...

The drive was quiet. I put on the electronic music I liked but, feeling anxious, soon turned it off. I drove through to morning, along endless chain-link fences, escaping the Arctic Circle to find the ...

Abstract: Multipath effect is currently a major error source for high-precision global navigation satellite system (GNSS) applications on smartphones. We explore the ...

Nexon first revealed plans for “jiggle physics” back in November 2024. Since then, the developer announced that it will be joining the game in May, and it appears to be on the cusp of being added in ...

Accurate prediction of broadband ground motion parameters is crucial for earthquake disaster prevention and mitigation. However, physics-based ground motion simulations are limited by the lack of high ...

A research team at Nagoya University School of Medicine in Japan has discovered that “a unique sound stimulation technology” can reduce motion sickness and may become a simple and effective way to ...
