Sometimes the universe is just too complicated to analyze. Heck, if you take a tennis ball and toss it across the room, even that is practically too complicated. After it leaves your hand, the ball ...

Understanding and predicting complex physical systems remain significant challenges in scientific research and engineering. Machine learning models, while powerful, often fail to follow the ...

If photons possess more quantum states than expected, it would overhaul our understanding of all particle physics – and now physicists have identified a way to test this radical idea in an experiment.

Diana Parno’s head swam when she first stepped inside the enormous, metallic vessel of the experiment KATRIN. Within the house-sized, oblong structure, everything was symmetrical, clean and blindingly ...

Much like the invigorating passage of a strong cold front, major changes are afoot in the weather forecasting community. And the end game is nothing short of revolutionary: an entirely new way to ...
