The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

Why do some melodies feel instantly right, balanced, memorable and satisfying, even if you have never heard them before? New research from the University of Waterloo suggests that more than creativity ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

“Our goal was to build a clear mathematical bridge between abstract algebra and the experience of listening to music,” said study co-author Olga Ibragimova. “When we think of melodies as shapes we can ...

It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.

Quote of the day: Blaise Pascal, who lived from 1623 to 1662, made lasting contributions to probability theory, fluid ...

Casimir cavities are mysterious spaces between microscopic metal plates in a vacuum. Areas of diminished energy between the plates cause them to push toward each other, as if trying to fill the ...

Theoretical research led by Professor Enrique Gaztañaga of the University of Portsmouth challenges the ...

Quote of the day: Archimedes words not just reflect a physical principle but also serve as a metaphor for intellectual ...

Why do some melodies feel instantly right, balanced, memorable and satisfying, even if you have never heard them before? New research from the ...

Your brain calculates complex physics every day and you don't even notice. This neuromorphic chip taps into the same idea.
