Physics is tough. Want to spot a ripple in space-time? You just need a detector capable of seeing a length change less than one-millionth the size of an atom. Want to find a Higgs boson? No ...

Hopfield started his career in the 1960s working out the physics of semiconductors. But by the end of the decade, “I had run out of problems in condensed matter physics to which my particular talents ...

The interest culminated in a 77-page review, structured like a menu, of the physics involved in making a meal. “It got totally out of hand,” Dr. Mathijssen said.

"This isn't 'Nam, this is bowling. There are rules." The physics of bowling strike after strike New model uses 6 differential equations relating to a rotating rigid body for best strike conditions.

Minecraft has elementary and somewhat fictional physics. Most blocks can simply float in the air without falling; the particle effects when a block is mined are 2D, and the water is completely ...

Noether’s theorem has shaped the quantum world too. In the 1970s, it played a big role in the construction of the Standard Model of particle physics. The symmetries of quantum fields dictate laws that ...

This is why we left the scariest branch of physics til last: thermodynamics. The laws of thermodynamics tell us how energy is transferred (never created nor destroyed) and how entropy tends to ...

Princeton University professor John Hopfield has been awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.
