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 system—like the orbit of planets.

Gravity, the force that attracts objects toward each other, is currently framed by Albert Einstein's theory of general ...

A new study has revealed an unexpected link between solar storms and the flux of high-energy cosmic rays arriving at Earth.

The world is a big place, and there’s way more happening on it than any of us could ever keep track of. New creatures, wild landscapes, mind-blowing discoveries—they just keep coming. And honestly, ...

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 ...

Statistical physics is a branch of physics that uses probability theory and statistics to solve physical problems that usually involve systems composed of a large number of units. Its main purpose is ...
