The Physics Still Hiding in the Higgs Boson
...physics, and the linchpin that holds that decades-old set of equations together. But no other new particles have materialized at the LHC, leaving open many mysteries about the universe that...
Powerful ‘Machine Scientists’ Distill the Laws of Physics From Raw Data
Researchers say we’re on the cusp of “GoPro physics,” where a camera can point at an event and an algorithm can identify the underlying physics equation. In 2017, Roger Guimerà...
The Year in Physics
The field of fundamental physics is experiencing both a period of confusion and an openness to new ideas. A decade ago, it was practically gospel truth among physicists that the...
How Feynman Diagrams Revolutionized Physics
...1962 set the gold standard in physics instruction and, when later published as a three-volume set, sold millions of copies worldwide. What most people outside of the physics community are...
What Makes the Hardest Equations in Physics So Difficult?
The Navier-Stokes equations describe simple, everyday phenomena, like water flowing from a garden hose, yet they provide a million-dollar mathematical challenge. Physics contains equations that describe everything from the stretching...
The Year in Physics
From the smallest scales to the largest, the physical world provided no shortage of surprises this year. By one metric, this year’s biggest physics news happened 80 years ago. Yet...
