In January I wrote a piece titled “ 5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know .” Lots of you weighed in with your own ...

Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...

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 ...

The first law of thermodynamics is one of the bedrock laws of physics. Even if you’re not gung-ho for physics research, you might have heard the simplified version: energy can neither be created nor ...

Ampère was playing with wires when he discovered a fundamental law of electromagnetism. Hans Christian Oersted had just discovered the connection between electricity and magnetism. Meanwhile, a French ...

Are you a scientist with interesting yet unexplained data that you don’t have the time to analyse? You might want to get in touch with two physicist in the US who have created an algorithm that can ...

New research shows how the fundamental law of conservation of charge could break down near a black hole. Singularities such as those at the centre of black holes, where density becomes infinite, are ...

Deep learning can be understood as modeling high-level abstractions using data and a set of algorithms, with a deep graph and multiple processing layers of linear and non-linear equations. While it is ...

A team of scientists has developed a recipe for black holes that eliminates one of the most troubling aspects of physics: the central singularity, the point at which all our theories, laws and models ...
