The manifesto leaned heavily on Isaac Newton’s theories in making a case for independence, and fellow founders drew on the ...

There is a palpable fear among American workers that artificial intelligence (AI) is coming for their jobs. The answer to that fear, as I’ve argued, is to make job loss less scary by building a new ...

With just a handful of assumptions, string theory stands alone. Based on the idea that all subatomic particles are made up of vibrating strings of energy, string theory is a candidate for a “theory of ...

A new AI framework called THOR is transforming how scientists calculate the behavior of atoms inside materials. Instead of relying on slow simulations that take weeks of supercomputer time, the system ...

A team of EPFL researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account the laws of physics—using Newton's third law. Their research is published ...

Let's keep things simple – this is basic math. Nothing scary. Just everyday calculations, a bit of geometry, some number patterns, and the kind of stuff you definitely learned in school at some point.

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are governed by the same laws of physics, and give rise to a complex phenomenon known ...

Adiabatic quantum computing An example problem represented by an energy landscape. Each point on the landscape represents a candidate solution. The deepest valley represents the actual solution with ...

During the 2026 Winter Olympics, athletes will leap off ramps, slide across ice and spin through the air. These performances will look different to my students who have studied physics through sports.

The 3-body problem looks simple: three objects, one gravitational system. But it reveals something shocking — even basic gravity can become unpredictable, chaotic, and impossible to solve perfectly.
