One of the most striking outcomes of the surface-minimization framework is its ability to explain structural features that ...

Like stretch marks left on skin that expanded too quickly or cracks embedded in freezing ice, cosmic strings are artifacts of ...

Researchers working on China's fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally accessed a theorized "density-free regime" for fusion plasmas, achieving ...

Inspired by kirigami, a type of Japanese paper art, researchers have created a new material that transforms from a grid into any 3D structure you'd like. Reading time 2 minutes There’s a very thin ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called "Is the end in sight for theoretical physics?" Forty-five years later, ...

Profiles, tab groups, and ad blockers are on their way. Profiles, tab groups, and ad blockers are on their way. is a London-based reporter at The Verge covering all things AI and Senior Tarbell Fellow ...

Abstract: String constraint problems faced by program analysis tools are pervasive in programming, but datasets built specifically for real-world string constraints are rare. To understand the ...

Imagine zooming into matter at the quantum scale, where tiny particles can interact in more than a trillion configurations at once. If that sounds complicated, it is. Physicists often rely on ...
