For decades, physicists have argued about Feynman’s Sprinkler Problem, the question of how a reverse sprinkler would operate.

Physics is still full of big questions that scientists have not completely answered. From the mysteries of dark matter and ...

Physicists have debated which way a submerged sprinkler sucking in water would spin. Careful experiments provide an answer.

A machine-learning AI can solve physics problems by simplifying them to be more symmetric. “There are many, many cases in the history of science where people thought things were more complicated than ...

Solving life's great mysteries often requires detective work, using observed outcomes to determine their cause. For instance, nuclear physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson ...

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 ...

Black physicists say efforts to recruit and retain more Black students must concentrate on challenges they face at both Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Primarily White Institutions.
