A rocket launch. Our nearest stellar neighbor. A Netflix show. All of these things have something in common: They must contend with the "three-body problem." But exactly what is this thorny physics ...

While atmospheric turbulence is a familiar culprit of rough flights, the chaotic movement of turbulent flows remains an unsolved problem in physics. To gain insight into the system, a team of ...

The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we hand over the keyboard to a physicist or two to tell you about fascinating ideas from their corner of the universe.

A machine-learning AI can solve physics problems by simplifying them to be more symmetric. “There are many, many cases in the history of science where people thought things were more complicated than ...

A weird force that skirts traditional physics norms has helped erase a smudge on the foundations of particle physics. It’s a phenomenon called the “neutrino force,” by which neutrinos could ...

In October, a paper titled “Assembly theory explains and quantifies selection and evolution” appeared in the top science journal Nature. The authors – a team led by Lee Cronin at the University of ...
