A Princeton scientist with an interdisciplinary bent has taken two well-known problems in mathematics and reformulated them as a physics question, offering new tools to solve challenges relevant to a ...

Google updated its search engine and Lens tool with new features to help you visualize and solve problems in more difficult subjects like geometry, physics, trigonometry and calculus. The update ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Positive Geometry is a recent approach to reformulate known physics and maybe even discover new physics. What is it and could it revolutionize physics? I’ve had a look and ...

Deep neural networks (DNNs), the machine learning algorithms underpinning the functioning of large language models (LLMs) and other artificial intelligence (AI) models, learn to make accurate ...

Scientists have long sought to understand the quantum metric (QM)—a fundamental quantity that measures how rapidly neighboring electronic states in a solid change across momentum space. Predicted to ...

Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible field, but from the hidden geometry of space itself. Instead of treating extra ...

The momentous complexity of modern physics is often seen as a stumbling block whenever one is asked to explain to the wider public – or to new students – how beautiful all of it is, and how unique and ...

Grigori Perelman electrified the mathematical world 3 years ago with his claim to have solved one of the most famous problems in mathematics (SN: 6/14/03, p. 378: If It Looks Like a Sphere…). The ...

Sunlight, moonlight, torchlight, and flashlight... They all come from different places, but they’re the very same thing: light! It’s what makes it possible for us to see the world around us, so it’s ...
