Our physics expert picks his top-five equations, plus a scheme to supply US power needs with a bucket of baseballs. Thanks, Einstein!

What is your favourite physics equation and how well would it stand up in the court of public opinion to other equations? That pressing question could soon be answered by the Perimeter Institute for ...

Brian Greene: When we talk about vibration in physics, we have an interesting set of equations, mathematical equations that govern how a system vibrates. So if we have a string on a violin, we ...

Why is it that particular equations, formulas and expressions become icons, asks Robert P Crease For some people this expression, named after the 18th-century Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler, even ...

"Of all the equations of physics, perhaps the most magical is the Dirac equation." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. British ...

Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of general relativity could finally do away with them, and explain what ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

“We proved that the Einstein field equation from general relativity is actually a relativistic quantum mechanical equation,” the researchers note in their study.

Beauty innovations can come from anywhere–even a physics classroom. Twitter user @glxzwdwyws (who just goes by "Andrw" in his bio) has gone viral after sharing photos of himself using his long ...

While this seems obvious in our experienced reality, the underlying laws of physics do not inherently favour a single direction. Whether time moves forward or backwards, the equations remain the same.
