Scientists shed new light on the chaotic motion of a solid body moving through a fluid. They claim to have discovered two basic mechanisms that lead to chaotic motion of the body as it interacts with ...

Recent advances in theoretical physics have highlighted the central role of chaotic dynamics in understanding black hole phenomena and string theory. Chaotic behaviour, characterised by a sensitive ...

Bohmian quantum mechanics presents an alternative interpretation of quantum phenomena by positing that particles follow definite trajectories, guided by a quantum potential derived from the ...

When the Saturn-orbiting Cassini spacecraft swung within 500 kilometers of Saturn’s moon Hyperion last month, it snapped close-up photos that revealed a spectacularly cratered, craggy, splintered pile ...

With its suspended metallic spheres that clack back and forth, Newton's cradle is more than a popular desktop plaything. It has taught a generation of students about conservation of momentum and ...
