From the minute interactions between molecules, to the raging behemoths which are black holes, physics is applied to model them all. Physics is a study which is only ever refined over time. Classical mechanics is nearly perfectly precise at low speeds, but closer to the speed of light, general relativity has to be applied. Physics is not the search for laws, or axioms, but rather to create models which better fit our universe.
Biochemistry
When people think of genetic mutations, they would normally think that they're caused by radiation, carcinogens or copying errors when replicating DNA. However, recent studies show quantum tunnelling also has an effect here.
Physics
An introduction to the incredible materials which make modern aviation possible.
Physics
Einstein's Field Equations are among the most famous equations in all of physics, and yet what do they describe, and how do they work?
Physics
No pump? No problem. Wilson’s Airless Gen1 Basketball ditches traditional basketball design for an airless lattice that somehow still bounces. No punctures, no pressure loss, just a $2,500 price tag and a weirdly quiet bounce. Will it replace traditional basketballs? Read more to find out.
Chemistry
Hydrogen powered cars present a sustainable transport alternative to electric cars. However, there are many questions to be answered: are they more environmentally friendly? Are they economically viable?
Physics
Radioactive waste, production of nuclear weapons, the rarity of nuclear fuel. Thorium reactors promise to solve all these problems, and yet why have we not heard of them and how do they work?
Mathematics
The natural world is filled with complex and unpredictable phenomena, from weather patterns to the dynamics of ecosystems and the stock market. At first glance, these systems may seem entirely random, yet there are often underlying deterministic laws governed by mathematics.
Physics
Global Navigation affects over 6 million civilians worldwide, but getting the satellites to orbit and triangulating positions was never straightforward.
Physics
Time may seem to be constant and universal, but under certain conditions, it can bend and warp to become unrecognisable.
Engineering
An introduction to the invention that transformed our world.
Physics
What would you see if you fell into a black hole? What might it look like to someone outside? Could you escape once you've fallen though?
Computational Physics Prizes
This article explains how rainbows are formed in depth, and then details the process on how python code was developed in order to imitate the formation of them.
