In January I wrote a piece titled “ 5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know .” Lots of you weighed in with your own nominations, and there were plenty of good suggestions. So I’ve decided to do a ...

For decades, quantum computing has felt like something out of science fiction — abstract, theoretical, and always “10 years away.” But in 2025, the story has changed. Quantum technology is no longer ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Physicist Arvind Murugan earns Schmidt Science Polymath award for work at intersection of physics, biology, computation and materials science ...

But Luis Jauregui’s work, which might power quantum computers needed for long-range space exploration, also shows how basic research is a smart investment.

Planetary scientist Scott Bolton describes his working life at the helm of NASA’s Jupiter-exploring Juno mission ...

How much fraud is out there? Of course, it’s almost impossible to say with certainty, but the consensus and “gut feel” is that it is more than you think.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...
