Black physicists say efforts to recruit and retain more Black students must concentrate on challenges they face at both Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Primarily White Institutions.

The 'three-body problem,' the term coined for predicting the motion of three gravitating bodies in space, is essential for understanding a variety of astrophysical processes as well as a large class ...

Researchers trained a machine learning tool to capture the physics of electrons moving on a lattice using far fewer equations than would typically be required, all without sacrificing accuracy. Using ...

A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial optimization problems. These are common in real-world applications such as ...

If you ask a physicist what the biggest unsolved problem facing the field today is, you're likely to get a variety of answers. Some will point to the hierarchy problem, wondering why the masses of the ...

The namesake behind Netflix's new sci-fi series is an unsolvable physics problem that has baffled scientists for centuries. Paul Sutter breaks down the real three-body problem — and why nobody can ...

As a physics major, it feels like I spend the majority of my waking life solving problems. I’ve calculated the amount of water you get from mixing different ratios of steam and ice, the path of ...
