In January I wrote a piece titled “ 5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know .” Lots of you weighed in with your own nominations, and there were plenty of good suggestions. So I’ve decided to do a ...

Irish physicist William Rowan Hamilton’s pioneering work contained hints of the enigmatic wave–particle duality that governs the universe.

According to the equations that govern black holes, the larger one of these cosmic behemoths is the lower its average density – given that the universe contains a lot of relatively empty space, could ...

Scientists have simulated how M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, powers its immense particle jet. The Frankfurt team’s FPIC code shows that magnetic reconnection, where ...

Artificial intelligence models have improved weather forecasting, but their inner workings are largely opaque. A new approach could make their predictions more interpretable by scientists.

A hundred years before the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration released the first image of a black hole in 2019—located at the heart of the galaxy M87—astronomer Heber Curtis had already discovered ...

Einstein’s uncle Jakob was an inventor in Munich. He produced patents for arc lamps, electric meters, and dynamos in the late 19th century. The young Albert grew up in this world of gadgets and wires, ...

Mercedes’ 2016 team holds the F1 record for the most podium appearances in a single season, securing 33. The caveat is that the 2016 season only had 21 race weekends, while this year has 24. McLaren ...
