A New Physics Theory of Life
...2014, to reflect that Ilya Prigogine won the Nobel Prize in chemistry, not physics. Jeremy England, a 31-year-old physicist at MIT, thinks he has found the underlying physics driving the...
A New Tool to Help Mathematicians Pack
...in 8-D and a Leech lattice in 24-D. These arrangements are not only densest; they are “universally” optimal. Perhaps for this reason, the structures appear broadly throughout mathematics and physics....
Could Knots Unravel Mysteries of Fluid Flow?
...offer clues for untangling turbulence — one of the last great unknowns of classical physics — but any order exhibited by the knots was lost in the surrounding chaos. Now,...
Physicists Eye Quantum-Gravity Interface
It starts like a textbook physics experiment, with a ball attached to a spring. If a photon strikes the ball, the impact sets it oscillating very gently. But there’s a...
Search Escalates for Key to Why Matter Exists
...it as Selenium-76. The chemical decay could present a solution to one of the biggest mysteries in physics: why there is something rather than nothing in the universe. Among the...
Our Bodies, Our Data
...in physics and other fields. “In high-energy physics, the data is well-structured and annotated, and the infrastructure has been perfected for years through well-designed and funded collaborations,” said Zola. Biological...
