The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in the planetary atmosphere. This phenomenon is governed by the Navier-Stokes ...

A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

A single equation found on a Babylonian clay tablet, written nearly four millennia ago, reveals a mathematical insight eerily similar to theories used in modern cosmology. Poilievre says RCMP covered ...

Formula One circuits are a blur of color any time one of the 20 cars zips past during a given session, but there’s almost always a semblance of uniformity. Each team has both vehicles in the same ...

Einstein’s theory of relativity reshaped our understanding of time space and gravity But deep inside its equations lies a mystery the one Einstein never predicted a hole that could change how physics ...

In January I wrote a piece titled “5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know.” Lots of you weighed in with your own nominations, and there were plenty of good suggestions. So I’ve decided to do a ...
