Progress in the foundations of physics is moving slowly. And yet it moves. Today I look at the five biggest problems in physics, what their status is, and how long it will ta ...

Detecting dark matter—the mysterious substance that holds galaxies together—is one of the greatest unsolved problems in ...

A mathematical problem underlying fundamental questions in particle and quantum physics is provably unsolvable, according to scientists. It is the first major problem in physics for which such a ...

Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

A team of physicists from the University at Buffalo has developed a user-friendly method that allows researchers to solve ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...

UCSB physics professor emeritus John Martinis and UCSB physics professor Michel Devoret were awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize.
