All the tech we rely on, from cars to smartphones, was engineered using physics. You don’t need to know the science to use these things. But a well-rounded human should understand at least some of the ...

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 ...

Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism and the Euler equation top a poll to find the greatest equations of all time. Robert P Crease discusses the results of his reader survey First among equals – ...

The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation has been experimentally verified for the first time on 2D surfaces - thanks to sophisticated material design and polaritons. The question of how surfaces grow is one ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly artificial neural networks, have proved to be highly promising tools for uncovering patterns in large amounts of data that would otherwise be ...
