In this video, we’ll break down how to solve physics problems involving the motion of a 2D spring. Learn about the forces at play, how to model the spring’s movement, and the key concepts behind ...

This is how countless films and stories describe it — but scientists have always enjoyed calculating why this is actually impossible. Now, Metin Tolan, a physicist in Germany, says Christmas does not ...

Lucy Lazarony is an experienced personal finance journalist and writer who got her start in 1998 writing about financial topics. She writes accessible and easy-to-understand articles about credit, ...

H ave you ever met a Zionist Foucauldian? Some 30 years ago, I half-jokingly asked my fellow graduate students in a social-theory course if they had ever encountered such a creature. No one had. The ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

If you have ever sworn off social media for a week or two because you sensed it was feeding your anxiety or dampening your mood, you may be on to something. A new study out last week in JAMA Network ...

While atmospheric turbulence is a familiar culprit of rough flights, the chaotic movement of turbulent flows remains an unsolved problem in physics. To gain insight into the system, a team of ...

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 ...

Researchers from The University of New Mexico and Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed an AI framework that tackles one of physics’ most complex computational challenges. Credit: Stock An AI ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Progress in the foundations of physics is moving slowly. And yet it moves. Today I look at the five biggest problems in physics, what their status is, and how long it will ...

In our world of AI-dominated algorithms, some nuclear physicists prefer to do science the old-fashioned way. And this newly developed physics-based, AI-free algorithm may be the breakthrough needed ...
