The Navier-Stokes equations represent a cornerstone of fluid dynamics, providing a mathematical framework to describe the motion of viscous fluids. These nonlinear partial differential equations ...

Erica Grace Cabanilla, my ERDT administrator, who took charge of all my stipends, reminded me gently that I am supposed to give my exit report on Jan. 26 as Visiting Researcher, although my ...

As we celebrate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) in 2025, we look back on a century of quantum mechanics—a field that has fundamentally changed the way we understand ...

In math and computer science, researchers have long understood that some questions are fundamentally unanswerable. Now physicists are exploring how even ordinary physical systems put hard limits on ...

The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in ...

The Navier-Stokes equations capture in a few succinct terms one of the most ubiquitous features of the physical world: the flow of fluids. The equations, which date to the 1820s, are today used to ...

The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we hand over the keyboard to a physicist or mathematician to tell you about fascinating ideas from their corner of the ...
