Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

This video explores the question of why the sky is dark, examining key concepts such as the infinite nature of the Universe and Olber’s Paradox. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:53 Why is the sky dark?

How is it that quantum physics governs the very smallest things in the universe, yet classical, Newtonian rules describe the movements of everything else, from people to planets? In the second of two ...

President Donald Trump has a fresh chance this week to act on a priority voters continually say they want fixed — but over which he’s in denial. The high and rising prices of health care, groceries ...

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 ...

While atmospheric turbulence is a familiar culprit of rough flights, the chaotic movement of turbulent flows remains an unsolved problem in physics. To gain insight into the system, a team of ...

Daniel Whiteson and Andy Warner’s upcoming book is a philosophical exploration of the humanity behind our desire to find aliens. Reading time 6 minutes At Gizmodo, we love a good story about ...

Nanotechnology has significantly reshaped modern science. Now, researchers can manipulate matter at atomic and molecular scales. Among the many forms of nanomaterials, zero-dimensional nanomaterials ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong studying the structure of electrons in 2D materials have predicted new types of phase transitions that have yet to be seen in experiments Illustration of ...

An international team of researchers, including scientists from Science Tokyo, has developed a five-dimensional Langevin model that accurately reproduces the complex fission fragment distributions and ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...
