This experiment tests how a boat behaves in a supercritical fluid, revealing surprising physics about density, buoyancy, and ...

A research team from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed FastTrack, a new machine ...

The amplituhedron, a shape at the heart of particle physics, appears to be deeply connected to the mathematics of paper ...

Montgomery happened to find strikingly similar behavior in the prime numbers— specifically, the correlations between the ...

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...

We know the Earth’s inner core is largely solid, which sets a ceiling on its temperature, and in turn, how much heat dark ...

Prime numbers are sometimes called math’s “atoms” because they can be divided by only themselves and 1. For two millennia, ...

Quantum versions of Bayes’ rule have been around for decades, but the approach through the minimum change principle had not been tried before. In the new work, a team led by Ge Bai, Francesco Buscemi ...

Floquet engineering: The periodic driving field contains a leading order contribution (left) and a correction term (centre). It generates the target Floquet Hamiltonian (right) that supports ...

The main difference is the cause: gravity for hydrostatic, and solute concentration for osmotic. This leads to different ways ...

The Tennessee Valley Railroad’s Hiwassee Loop in Farner serves up the kind of views that make even the most devoted couch potatoes consider taking up hiking—until they remember they’re already seeing ...
