The flagellar tails of bacteria rotate clockwise or counterclockwise because of active mechanical forces that pressure the ...

In an RL-based control system, the turbine (or wind farm) controller is realized as an agent that observes the state of the ...

How is it that quantum physics governs the very smallest things in the universe, yet classical, Newtonian rules describe the movements of everything else, from people to planets? In the second of two ...

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 ...

Microsoft’s near-term margin pressure reflects a “physics problem” of massive AI CapEx colliding with surging long-term demand. Satya Nadella’s “new economics of AI” signals a company-wide shift ...

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 same pulling force that causes “tears” in a glass of wine also shapes embryos. It’s another example of how genes exploit mechanical forces for growth and development. Sip a glass of wine, and you ...

Daniel Whiteson and Andy Warner’s upcoming book is a philosophical exploration of the humanity behind our desire to find aliens. Reading time 6 minutes At Gizmodo, we love a good story about ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Progress in the foundations of physics is moving slowly. And yet it moves. Today I look at the five biggest problems in physics, what their status is, and how long it will ...

Most people think tightening wheels after fixing a flat tire is simple — grab a wrench, lean on it until your shoulder pops (ouch!), and call it a day. But wheel torque isn't just about brute force -– ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

The 12-cylinder era might be burning out, but the thrill ride is far from over. Leave it to Bentley to keep the adrenaline pumping. Ever since the marque waved goodbye to its thunderous W-12, it’s ...
