Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

More than a century after Srinivasa Ramanujan scribbled his astonishing formulas for π in notebooks in India and England, ...

What is the Stokes-Einstein Equation? The Stokes-Einstein equation is a fundamental relation in physics that describes the diffusion of spherical particles through a fluid with low Reynolds number. It ...

Particle physicists have developed an amazingly successful theory describing how the universe works on the most fundamental level. This theory, known as the Standard Model and hailed as one of the ...

For physicists Katy Grimm and Katharine Leney, science is a piece of cake. If one wanted to follow the recipe for the universe, it would call for about 14 parts dark energy, 5 parts dark matter and 1 ...

E = mc 2 is probably the most recognized physics equation among the general public, beating out Newton's Second Law of motion, F = ma. Despite that recognition by the outside world, E = mc 2 is hardly ...

Symmetries lie at the heart of the laws of nature. Early scientific giants such as Galileo Galilei, René Descartes and Isaac Newton did not speak in those terms, but symmetries were implicit in their ...
