Weirdly, spaceships have no direct way to gauge their own speed. Luckily, we can use some physics tricks to figure it out.

I don’t think I’m breaking any news when I say midsize trucks are compromised. Certainly, they’re better performers than ever, with turbo engines and crazy suspension—but why can’t a grown-up fit in ...

I am sitting in a lecture theatre, and in front of me is a sight that I am still getting used to. I am at the American Physical Society Global Physics Summit, the world’s largest annual meeting of ...

A new AI framework called THOR is transforming how scientists calculate the behavior of atoms inside materials. Instead of relying on slow simulations that take weeks of supercomputer time, the system ...

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are governed by the same laws of physics, and give rise to a complex phenomenon known ...

Abstract: Video frame interpolation (VFI) synthesizes new frames from original video frames to produce high frame-rate videos and enhance their visual appeal. The quality of these interpolated frames ...

Modern physics explains much of how the universe works, from atoms to galaxies. Yet some problems remain stubbornly unresolved, resisting even the most advanced theories. These puzzles expose gaps in ...

For decades, global soil moisture monitoring from space has depended on reference datasets. Satellite observations, while indispensable, are rarely used alone; instead, their retrieval algorithms are ...
