As a physics major, it feels like I spend the majority of my waking life solving problems. I’ve calculated the amount of water you get from mixing different ratios of steam and ice, the path of ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

Even with quantum mechanics and relativity, physics can’t explain everything. Three problems — quantum gravity, dark matter, and turbulent flow — remain unsolved despite decades of research. Each one ...
