A festinating new theory shifts focus from space to time, arguing the clock-ticking we take for granted is richer and weirder ...

String theory has long been touted as physicists' best candidate for describing the fundamental nature of the universe, with ...

On June 11, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine announced the result of a three-year study to set a ...

One popular theory ... constant in his theory of general relativity. Then in 1998, scientists who later won the Nobel Prize for their work revised this to show the cosmological constant was positive — ...

These new data let them more precisely estimate the distances between us and objects in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which in turn let them infer the Hubble constant with greater precision.

The new theory ... applies to largescale cosmic objects like stars and galaxies, with the principles of quantum mechanics that dictate how tiny atoms and particles behave. Crucially, it explains ...

Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...

sometimes with quite irregular shapes that make the diagrams less comprehensible. In this paper, we address these two issues by developing the theory of piercings, where we define single piercing ...

Abstract: Bipedal walking is not fully understood. Motion generated from methods employed in robotics literature is stiff and is not nearly as energy efficient as what we observe in nature. In this ...

Expected air moisture is missing over drier areas worldwide, possibly because climate models undervalue the effects of plants and other life. This finding could be a fingerprint of human-caused ...

Some other works explored hidden convexity in static problems, but it was not clear whether the structures remained solid for dynamic problems like simulating elastic objects in motion, Mattos Da ...
