To pull off this classic Hollywood stunt, you gotta know your physics!
Recent controversies bode ill for the effort to detect life on other planets by analyzing the gases in their atmospheres.
A new study suggests that sudden jumps in LLMs’ abilities are neither surprising nor unpredictable, but are actually the consequence of how we measure ability in AI.
Two researchers have proved that Penrose tilings, famous patterns that never repeat, are mathematically equivalent to a kind of quantum error correction.
On Pi Day we answer the burning question: Is there any world in which pi does not go on forever?
Our in-house physics whiz explains how a heat pump can warm your home without burning fossil fuels.
An idea derived from string theory suggests that dark matter is hidden in an as-yet-unseen extra dimension. Scientists are racing to test the theory to see if it holds up.
