British theoretical physicist Paul Dirac was one of the most significant figures in the early days of quantum physics, who along with Erwin Schrödinger won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1933. But it ...

Imagine a juggler tossing balls into the air. The art of juggling is a dance between motion and pause, where the ball’s speed ...

Equations are ordered, elegant mathematical constructs used to describe specific patterns. Can you imagine some formulas depict the very opposite: chaos and randomness? What's more intriguing, they ...

Why is it that particular equations, formulas and expressions become icons, asks Robert P Crease For some people this expression, named after the 18th-century Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler, even ...

Brian Greene: When we talk about vibration in physics, we have an interesting set of equations, mathematical equations that govern how a system vibrates. So if we have a string on a violin, we have an ...

A question of fun: The physics behind velocity, inertia and gravity are different in the digital world, and for good reason. At this point in time, mimicking the way things work in real life right ...
