The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun, and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are governed by the same laws of physics and give rise to a complex phenomenon known ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Jupiter's red spot, a massive storm system, is an example of turbulent flow. Scientists have made a leap forward in understanding ...

Yeah, tribology engineers don't care about turbulence either. It must be nice to work in fluid mechanics and not care about inertia at all. Nice linear equations... Well, certainly assumptions of ...

OpenAI's GPT-5.2 has derived a new formula explaining gluon scattering processes that physicist Nima Arkani-Hamed ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) In today’s video, I have a brief rundown of my 10 favorite physics paradoxes and big problems. If you have trouble sleeping at night, this will give you something to think ...

Physicists have invented a new type of analog quantum computer that can tackle hard physics problems that the most powerful digital supercomputers cannot solve. New research published in Nature ...

Scientists have made a leap forward in understanding the pattern and structure of turbulence — a natural phenomenon observed in fluids such as moving water, ocean currents, chemical reactions, blood ...

With regard to fusion, we really have no choice other than to build the machine and run the experiments directly. Also, turbulent instabilities are only a fraction of the physics necessary to model a ...
