Artificial intelligence is changing how we predict river flow—but a new study led by researchers at the University of British Columbia shows that ...

In The Physics Teacher, a physics professor-turned-AI-researcher explores the uses of generative AI to teach physical science ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

A new report compiled by the University of Colorado's Colorado River Research Group warns that threats to the river's water supply are now so severe that they pose a significant risk to the water ...

Ramanujan’s elegant formulas for calculating pi, developed more than a century ago, have unexpectedly resurfaced at the heart of modern physics. Researchers at IISc discovered that the same ...

How is it that quantum physics governs the very smallest things in the universe, yet classical, Newtonian rules describe the movements of everything else, from people to planets? In the second of two ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

Engineering consultants who gathered data about the safety of the Main Street/River Street intersection in East Dundee observed nine motorists driving the wrong way on River Street within 12 hours.

Beside the murky waters off Pass Christian, shrimp boats docked in the distance, David Gautier is worried about a threat many miles away that he cannot control. Gautier, 64, runs a seafood business on ...
