Limitations in how far we can predict the weather, and how accurately we can describe the future changed climate, has been limited by chaos at the starting point or description of the boundary conditi ...

Metals are made of randomly oriented crystals at the microscopic-length scale. The alignment of the crystal faces creates an infinite number of configurations and complex patterns, making simulations ...

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 ...

Metals are made of randomly oriented crystals at the microscopic-length scale. The alignment of the crystal faces creates an infinite number of ...

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun, and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are ...

All of the sports at the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortino involve some physics in action. For figure skating, ski jumping and curling, two of the basic laws of the physics of motion are at play: ...

The team used an AI method known as equation discovery to develop a model to simulate the interactions between small eddies—circular, vortex-like currents—and large-scale ones. These interactions are ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

A cozy, chaos-proof guide to layering, laundry, and getting everyone out the door warm, dry, and meltdown-free.

The Physics of Sailing find themselves aboard a unique intersection of sailing practice and a traditional science class.

This post features biographies and notable quotes from oral history interviews with planetary geophysicist Lynnae Quick, ...

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