In a major breakthrough, scientists have experimentally confirmed a universal growth law in two dimensions using a quantum system of fleeting light–matter particles. The finding strengthens the idea ...

Literal equations can be hard on their own, but some problems are just more difficult than others. In this video, I want to focus on one of my favorites. ***Videos Picked To Watch Next*** ⭐️ Tricky ...

Frank Merle is used to confronting a messy world. He works on the mathematics of highly nonlinear systems—ones that respond in dramatic, unpredictable ways to even the smallest changes. It’s the same ...

$$\begin{aligned} \int _{0}^{\infty }{\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }{\left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}+u\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}-v\frac{{{\partial }^{2}}u ...

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are governed by the same laws of physics, and give rise to a complex phenomenon known ...

Modern physics explains much of how the universe works, from atoms to galaxies. Yet some problems remain stubbornly unresolved, resisting even the most advanced theories. These puzzles expose gaps in ...

When engineers build AI language models like GPT-5 from training data, at least two major processing features emerge: memorization (reciting exact text they’ve seen before, like famous quotes or ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly artificial neural networks, have proved to be highly promising tools for uncovering patterns in large amounts of data that would otherwise be ...

Daniel Whiteson and Andy Warner’s upcoming book is a philosophical exploration of the humanity behind our desire to find aliens. Reading time 6 minutes At Gizmodo, we love a good story about ...

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 ...

In January I wrote a piece titled “5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know.” Lots of you weighed in with your own nominations, and there were plenty of good suggestions. So I’ve decided to do a ...
