For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and ...

Recent advances in theoretical physics have increasingly highlighted the pivotal role of algebraic structures in unifying particle physics with quantum gravity. These approaches leverage sophisticated ...

New research shows that advances in technology could help make future supercomputers far more energy efficient. Neuromorphic computers are modeled after the structure of the human brain, and researche ...

A decade ago astrophysicists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), operated by the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ...

Are our bodies solid or liquid? We all know the convention—that solids maintain their shapes, while liquids fill the containers they're in. But often in the real world, those lines are blurred.

Physicists are quietly advancing a radical idea: time might not be a single, thin line but a full three‑dimensional landscape ...

Taken concurrently with EGR/MAT/PHY 191. An integrated course that covers the material of PHY 103 and MAT 201 with the emphasis on applications to engineering. Math topics include: vector calculus; ...
