Numerical Analysis

By understanding the churning region near singularities, physicists hope they might be able to reconcile gravity and quantum mechanics.

If you're not a "UNIX person", the thought of writing a command line application can be scary and off-putting. People find the command line so…

In a world obsessed with likes, stars, ratings, and scores, do we truly understand how much they sway our decisions? When numbers step in, do we lose sight of what really matters? A new study sheds light on "quantification fixation," where numerical information dominates our choices, even when qualitative attributes hold equal importance.

Dark data from product reviews, customer feedback, job candidates, financial analyses, corporate policies, and legal contracts can now be studied.

Maybe it's magic, maybe it's math—nobody can decide.

A physics simulation flaw in text-based 1969 computer game went unnoticed until today.

MIT researchers discovered "neutronic" molecules, in which neutrons can be made to cling to quantum dots, held just by the strong force. The finding may lead to new tools for probing material properties at the quantum level and exploring new kinds of quantum information processing devices.

Atoms can absorb and reemit light—this is an everyday phenomenon. In most cases, however, an atom emits a light particle in all possible directions—recapturing this photon is, therefore, quite hard.

MIT researchers propose a "physics-enhanced deep-surrogate" (PEDS) method for developing data-driven surrogate models for complex physical systems in such fields as mechanics, optics, thermal transport, fluid dynamics, physical chemistry, and climate modeling.

Modern physics is founded on 2 pillars: Einstein's gravity and quantum mechanics. But these 2 theories contradict each other. Does this theory reconcile them? The post Einstein's gravity and quantum mechanics united at last? first appeared on EarthSky.

New research from North Carolina State University and Michigan State University opens a new avenue for modeling low-energy nuclear reactions, which are key to the formation of elements within stars. The research lays the groundwork for calculating how nucleons interact when the particles are electrically charged.

Anyone got a different fantasy alternative lying around?
