Educating used to be about explaining concepts – now it’s about designing experiences to help the brain develop understanding. Find advice to tweak your teaching here ...

Last week, I introduced Emmy Noether, an extraordinary figure in the fields of mathematics and physics. To understand Noether ...

How Emmy Noether's theorem uses the Lagrangian to provide a formula for calculating the quantity of symmetries in a ...

A mathematical problem that had remained unsolved for more than 10 years in the physics of complex systems has finally been ...

The question of how gravity interacts with the quantum world has long perplexed physicists, but a non-quantum theory of space ...

For years, physicists were stuck in trying to explain an important mathematical problem in physics. The right approach ended ...

Fraunhofer ILT in Aachen has developed a highly complex laser-optical system for a quantum computer currently under construction at the 5th Institute of Physics at the University of Stuttgart. This ...

The 2026 Formula 1 season starts at Melbourne Park with the Australian Grand Prix on the weekend of March 6-8. Lando Norris became world champion for the first time in 2025 after finishing third at a ...

Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...

The microscopic origin of line tension, used in the equilibrium description of liquid drops on flat surfaces, is not well understood. Simulations of water nanodroplets show that structural transitions ...

Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at its most fundamental level. A central tenet of quantum physics is that energy comes in indivisible packets called quanta. Quanta behave very ...
