The way bugs and birds flap their wings may look effortless, but the dynamics that keep them aloft are dizzyingly complex and ...

From planetary orbits to pendulum swings, MATLAB makes it possible to simulate gravity and motion with precision. Using built-in physics toolboxes, you can explore everything from Newton’s laws to ...

Research.com has released its 2026 list of top online physics degree programs, reflecting universities’ efforts to make STEM study more flexible and supportive. The rankings come as online learning ...

Simulating how atoms and molecules move over time is a central challenge in computational chemistry and materials science.

Weirdly, spaceships have no direct way to gauge their own speed. Luckily, we can use some physics tricks to figure it out. Here on Earth, it’s easy to know how fast you’re driving. You get a good ...

Researchers have developed a technology to invisibly transmit information disguised as background thermal radiation. Using a phenomenon called "negative light," they transferred 100 kilobits of data ...

For decades, astronomers have used distant supernovae as cosmic lighthouses to test fundamental physics and to measure the universe. For Joseph Farah, a fifth-year graduate student at UC Santa Barbara ...

Researchers present a comprehensive review of frontier AI applications in computational structural analysis from 2020 to 2025, focusing on graph neural networks (GNNs), sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) ...

A Paris-based venture firm that has quietly shaped the quantum technology scenery is now making a much louder statement about Europe’s role in the future of computing, materials science, and sensing.

I don’t know who invented this crazy challenge, but the idea is to put someone in a carved-out ice bowl and see if they can get out. Check it out! The bowl is shaped like the inside of a sphere, so ...

An exclusive conversation with Kevin Weil, head of OpenAI for Science, a new in-house team that wants to make scientists more productive. In the three years since ChatGPT’s explosive debut, OpenAI’s ...

Michael Shay studies plasma physics using analytical theory and computer simulations. His work is applicable to a diverse set of phenomena: solar flares and coronal mass ejections on the sun, the ...
