I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. Most of the coverage of this adopts the framing of talking about this as measuring the "shape" of the electron, something that's been ...

A method to take snapshots of exploding nuclei could hold clues about the fundamental properties of gold, uranium and other ...

While in the real world, we understand physics through math, in the world of video generation, an AI model that understands physics should be able to watch a sequence of frames and then predict which ...

That may set off alarm bells if you’re wary of ascribing unscientific intentionality to how physics shapes our world. All of this would just seem a bit eccentric—stranger ideas have gotten ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to reveal subtle details about the shapes of atomic nuclei. The method is ...

In a recent paper in Nature Physics, an international research collaboration used world-class instrumentation at the Facility ...
