Can Math and Physics Save an Arrhythmic Heart?
...and physics to stop deadly heart arrhythmia. (00:21) You may remember the horrifying scene that occurred during a recent pro football game, when Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on...
How Quantum Physicists Explained Earth’s Oscillating Weather Patterns
...matter physics, but he was also curious about climate physics and the behavior of fluids in Earth’s oceans and atmosphere. Marston suspected there was a connection between geophysical waves and...
How (Nearly) Nothing Might Solve Cosmology’s Biggest Questions
...the gravitational pull of the structures defining a void’s edge. Because of this, in a void “very little happens,” Pisani said. “There are no mergers, no complicated astrophysics. This makes...
Does Nothingness Exist?
...call it nothing? After all, there could still be energy inside or perhaps subatomic matter and particles that we just can’t see. In modern physics, this idea of nothingness has...
Quantum Complexity Shows How to Escape Hawking’s Black Hole Paradox
...foundations of most modern theories, including the celebrated Standard Model of particle physics. Physicists expect semiclassical physics to falter when gravity grows intense, as it does at the still-inscrutable center...
Math Proof Draws New Boundaries Around Black Hole Formation
...density approaches infinity and known physics goes off the rails. In the 100-plus years since, physicists and mathematicians have explored the properties of these enigmatic objects from the perspective of...
In a Monster Star’s Light, a Hint of Darkness
...particle physics experiment on Earth will cut to the heart of the mystery much faster. But uncovering these isolated pockets of darkness — and any intricate physics that accompanies them...
How Scientists Are Tackling the Tricky Task of Solar Cycle Prediction
...physics-based methods that are similar to complex climate prediction models. These computer simulations use fluid dynamics and electromagnetism to re-create solar physics; scientists then feed in observational data to anticipate...
Physicists Who Explored Tiny Glimpses of Time Win Nobel Prize
...plate launches electrons into the air (he would later win the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his theory). Before the age of attosecond physics, physicists generally assumed that the...
