Our physics expert picks his top-five equations, plus a scheme to supply US power needs with a bucket of baseballs. Thanks, Einstein!

A new book on quantum physics is pleasingly full of cutting-edge topics. Yet it isn't the accessible work it promised to be ...

A trio of scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics for managing to do something that had always eluded humankind: Spotting electrons zipping around in an atom.

These higher-degree equations are much more difficult, of course; but part of the reason solutions didn't come easily was that algebra was tied to words and concrete images for such a very long time.

Researchers trained a machine learning tool to capture the physics of electrons moving on a lattice using far fewer equations than would typically be required, all without sacrificing accuracy.

Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use ...

It appears that we live on the knife-edge, where only the narrowest combination of values for the fundamental constants allow life, and especially conscious life, to arise.

Revise motion - equations and graphs for your Higher physics exam with Bitesize Scotland interactive practice quizzes covering feedback and common errors.

The laws of physics as we define them don't actually exist, instead, we're just honing descriptions of how the universe works.

Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of general relativity could finally do away with them, and explain what ...
