We put Wonderwall under the musical microscope and explore how the song became a standard for beginner guitarists ...

Physicists may have uncovered a surprising new clue that string theory—the idea that the universe is built from unimaginably tiny vibrating strings—could be more than just a mathematical fantasy.

When Ayush Shetty was playing at the World Junior Badminton Championships a few years ago, the Indian shuttler had a predetermined tension for his racquet string in his mind. But when he landed at the ...

If you could take an apple and break it into smaller and smaller parts, you would find molecules, then atoms, followed by subatomic particles like protons and the quarks and gluons that make them up.

With just a handful of assumptions, string theory stands alone. Based on the idea that all subatomic particles are made up of vibrating strings of energy, string theory is a candidate for a “theory of ...

Explore the fascinating physics of a pig flying in a circle while hanging from a string! In this video, we break down concepts like circular motion, tension, centripetal force, and acceleration, ...

Biological systems are notoriously tough to model, especially when it comes to figuring out the axons, neurons, blood vessels, and other structural components of gray matter, or the tissue that makes ...

In October 1984 I arrived at Oxford University, trailing a large steamer trunk containing a couple of changes of clothing and about five dozen textbooks. I had a freshly minted bachelor’s degree in ...
