Black holes fascinate the public and scientists alike because they are where it all breaks down: matter, unlucky stars and space flotsam, and our understanding of physics. And while scientists have ...

Spin-orbit coupling – a ubiquitous interaction in condensed-matter physics – has been simulated in ultracold neutral atoms for the first time by physicists in the US. Their experiment involves firing ...

If we were playing football in space, the ball would move at a constant speed after the kick, and because friction was very little, the ball would continue at the same speed for a huge distance, ...

Cheng Chin will make a vacuum chamber in his laboratory the coldest place in Chicago in order to simulate the impossibly hot conditions that followed the big bang during the earliest moments of the ...

AeroPINN is an innovative tool that combines Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate airflow patterns around arbitrary airfoil geometries in ...

The solar magnetic field is the main driver of space weather, which can cause damage to critical infrastructures like electricity, aviation, and our space-based technology. The main source of severe ...

Deep learning, also called machine learning, reproduces data to model problem scenarios and offer solutions. However, some problems in physics are unknown or cannot be represented in detail ...
