A tool called AI-Newton can derive scientific laws from raw data, but is some way from developing human-like reasoning.

Physics is the science that quantifies reality. Its influence extends to all the natural sciences, including biophysics, astronomy, and chemistry. Physics classifies all interactions between matter ...

When you have a balloon floating in a car and start driving, instead of getting thrown back, it actually flies forward. What? Are balloons immune to inertia? Is physics broken? Nope. As ...

Watch demonstrations to learn about basic physics principles, such as momentum, rotational motion and angular momentum. Assistant Professor Dr. Jason Howard also will provide information about what ...

A doctoral student travels to Washington to explain the enigma of neutrinos, particles that are as strange as they are ...

Turbulence, the violently unruly disturbance of plasma, can prevent plasma from growing hot enough to fuel fusion reactions. Long a puzzling concern of researchers has been the impact on turbulence of ...

A model earthquake on a lab bench shows that a basic assumption of introductory physics doesn't hold up at small scales. The finding could have a wide variety of implications for materials science and ...

Aspirin in form of small crystallites provides new insight into delicate motions of electrons and atomic nuclei. Set into molecular vibration by strong ultrashort far-infrared (terahertz) pulses, the ...
