Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Cold atoms could also potentially measure much lower vacuum pressures than ion gauges can. The current lowest pressure they’ve reliably measured is around 10 -9 Pa, and NIST scientists are working on ...

At its core, a Markov chain is a model for predicting the next event in a sequence based only on its state. It possesses ...

The researchers found that a slightly curved meniscus allows more wave energy to pass through the barrier. Conversely, if the meniscus curves more steeply, it reduces the energy transported by the ...

The precise imaging of many-body systems, which are comprised of many interacting particles, can help to validate theoretical ...

In January I wrote a piece titled “ 5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know .” Lots of you weighed in with your own ...

Understanding what happens inside a material when it is hit by ultrashort light pulses is one of the great challenges of ...

Using a relatively young theory, a team of mathematicians has started to answer questions whose roots lie at the very ...

Quantum computers may solve problems beyond supercomputers. A new test helps confirm quantum answers for errors.

Did you know UC San Diego ocean science made D-Day a success? In the final hours before the invasion of Normandy, Scripps Institution of Oceanography oceanographers and meteorologists advised Allied ...
