From the 1800s to the early 2000s, physicists used the same theory to understand the behavior of fluids. Now, using a modern ...

A groundbreaking study has shed light on how lugworms masterfully create their spiral towers within tidal flats. The worms' soft faecal castings, resembling flexible ropes under gravity, play a ...

Continuous time crystals inside a semiconductor can synchronize with one another, locking many separate spin oscillators into a shared rhythm. The coupling appears to come from spin-polarized ...

Antiferromagnetic skyrmion racetrack memory clears two key hurdles: JGU Mainz researchers have filmed magnetic vortex collisions in real time at the BESSY II synchrotron, confirming that the skyrmion ...

A new wave equation suggests accelerating waves can move only toward positive time, offering a possible microscopic ...

Theoretical physicist Professor Brian Greene rejoins WIRED to break down the emerging theories that tell us everything we ...

Scientists have closely examined the plasma’s intense rotation and electromagnetic fields, but the acceleration driving its ...

This year’s Fields Medal honors four mathematicians in their 30s who have made their mark in geometry and physics.

PHILADELPHIA—Math’s most prestigious prizes were announced today at the International Congress of Mathematicians. Following a lively brass-band performance by the West Philadelphia Orchestra in a ...

Mathematicians who helped unify laws of physics and cracked decades-old problems in geometry are among this year's recipients of the Fields medal ...

In a major breakthrough, scientists have observed electrons in graphene flowing like a nearly frictionless liquid, defying a core law of physics. This exotic quantum state not only reveals new ...
