A Princeton scientist with an interdisciplinary bent has taken two well-known problems in mathematics and reformulated them as a physics question, offering new tools to solve challenges relevant to a ...

Imaginary numbers are a solution to a very real problem, according to a new study published in Scientific Reports. Two physicists at Argonne National Laboratory offered a way to mathematically ...

Computer scientists’ daydreams have revealed the power of quantum mechanics. Imagine meeting omniscient beings who claim to have the solution to a complex problem that no computer could ever solve.

How long do free neutrons live until they decay? This has been a hotly debated topic, because different measurement techniques lead to different results. A possible new solution has now been proposed: ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...

A new tool to break down and segment large data set problems and problems with many parameters in particle physics could have a wide range of applications. One of the major challenges in particle ...

Click here to open the special supplement on vacuum science and technology that was published with the October 2005 issue of Physics World (10.5 MB pdf file). Reliability and innovation are ...

Here is classic (and difficult) physics problem that poses an interesting question: Take two points in space, Point 1 and Point 2. What is the path from point 1 to 2 that a frictionless object could ...

The theoretical particle physicist Ann Nelson, who died on August 4 at age 61, was a font of brilliant ideas and a champion of ending discrimination in the field. The Standard Model of particle ...

The main skills I use every day are around visible leadership of our safety and environmental programmes. (Courtesy: Atlas Copco) Leading the safety and environmental programme of a major company ...
