"We believe that general relativity only works on large or 'macroscopic' scales, but that on very short distances, or microscopic scales, it must be replaced by a quantum theory of gravity which ...

Weather forecasting is not easy. The truth is that predicting future weather conditions over broad, or even narrow, swaths of ...

Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism and the Euler equation top a poll to find the greatest equations of all time. Robert P Crease discusses the results of his reader survey First among equals – ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

Brian Greene: When we talk about vibration in physics, we have an interesting set of equations, mathematical equations that govern how a system vibrates. So if we have a string on a violin, we ...

Bernoulli’s Equation is one of the cornerstones of fluid dynamics, helping us understand how fluids behave when they move through different environments. Developed by the Swiss mathematician Daniel ...

What is your favourite physics equation and how well would it stand up in the court of public opinion to other equations? That pressing question could soon be answered by the Perimeter Institute for ...

Mathematical equations offer unique windows into the world. They make sense of reality and help us see things that haven't been previously noticed. So it’s no surprise that new developments in ...

All the tech we rely on, from cars to smartphones, was engineered using physics. You don’t need to know the science to use these things. But a well-rounded human should understand at least some of the ...

While researchers have never found a wormhole in our universe, scientists often see wormholes described in the solutions to important physics equations.

It appears that we live on the knife-edge, where only the narrowest combination of values for the fundamental constants allow life, and especially conscious life, to arise.
