Chezy and Manning developed equations that are used to determine the average volumetric flowrate in open channels. This article explains a laboratory method that was developed and tested to further ...

Equations are the bedrock of science, expressing how numbers or physical properties relate at a fundamental level. Without equations, most of our technology would never have been invented. We may have ...

Mathematicians finally understand the behavior of an important class of differential equations that describe everything from water pressure to oxygen levels in human tissues.

Proposed 15 years ago, the bounded L2 curvature conjecture has finally been proven by a group of researchers. It provides a potentially minimal framework in which it is possible to solve the Einstein ...

For this month's issue of Physics Today, I wrote about a new experiment using molecules as a probe of fundamental forces. As I was researching the topic, I was amazed to learn how little is known ...

For years, I’ve been discussing the importance of understanding and implementing good cybersecurity habits. But to understand cybersecurity, you need to understand cybercrime, and to understand ...
