Breakthroughs in physics sometimes require an assist from the field of mathematics—and vice versa. In 1912, Albert Einstein, then a 33-year-old theoretical physicist at the Eidgenössische Technische ...

Google has introduced another capability for its Circle to Search feature at the company's annual I/O developer conference, and it's something that could help students better understand potentially ...

Over the past century, quantum field theory has proved to be the single most sweeping and successful physical theory ever invented. It is an umbrella term that encompasses many specific quantum field ...

You will never be able to prove every mathematical truth. For me, this incompleteness theorem, discovered by Kurt Gödel, is one of the most incredible results in mathematics. It may not surprise ...

In 1935, Albert Einstein, working with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, grappled with a possibility revealed by the new laws of quantum physics: that two particles could be entangled, or correlated, ...

Calculating the way three things orbit each other is notoriously tricky — but a new study may reveal 12,000 new ways to make it work. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Werner Heisenberg won the 1932 Nobel Prize for helping to found the field of quantum mechanics and developing foundational ideas like the Copenhagen interpretation and the uncertainty principle. The ...

How can we tell good from evil? Is there a way that we should lead our lives? Such inquiries are typically the realm of philosophers, but Steven Landsburg argues that math, economics, and physics can ...

Scientists are sending millions of questions to AI weekly, speeding up research in physics, chemistry, and biology ...
