A $1 million prize awaits anyone who can show where the math of fluid flow breaks down. With specially trained AI systems, ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses 3D-printed “light cages” to store light in atomic vapor with high precision. Quantum ...

Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex ...

When electricity or fuel powers a machine, the machine gets hotter. Finding new ways to cool machines quickly and ...

Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights.

D computational fluid dynamics offers insight into methanol production from hydrogen and recycled carbon dioxide for ...

It took 125 years, but in 2025 a team of mathematicians discovered the solution to a long-puzzling problem about 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 ...

The human body works in complex ways—sometimes, certain motions are so small that it’s easy to miss how they might cause discomfort in the body. In this way, the surface tissues in our lungs actually ...

(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 ...

DeepMind used physics-informed neural networks to find new solutions to Navier-Stokes equations. The AI uncovered a new family of singularities, later proven mathematically correct. The breakthrough ...

Quantum turbulence The swirling patterns in Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” can help us visualize the quantum Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI). The central spiral and surrounding stars and ...
