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, ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

In his short career, Ettore Majorana made several profound contributions. One of them, his concept of 'Majorana fermions' — particles that are their own antiparticle — is finding ever wider relevance ...

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 ...
