Historian Joan Taylor explores the harsh political reality behind the nativity—Herod’s rule, Roman power, revolt, and ...

From morning glories spiraling up fence posts to grape vines corkscrewing through arbors, twisted growth is a problem-solving ...

This plant root was among those studied as part of new research exploring the molecular underpinnings of how plants twist ...

Scientists have long known that mutations in certain genes affecting microtubules in plants can cause plants to grow in a twisting manner. In most cases, these are “null mutations,” meaning the ...

DisneyResearchHub has published a detailed technical paper outlining how Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development ...

Launched in 2022 for deliveries to UK deposit holders in the last quarter of 2023, the Eletre (derived from an Eastern European word for ‘coming to life’, and pronounced elle-etra) was Lotus’s first ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

The same pulling force that causes “tears” in a glass of wine also shapes embryos. It’s another example of how genes exploit mechanical forces for growth and development. Sip a glass of wine, and you ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) 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 ...

Most people think tightening wheels after fixing a flat tire is simple — grab a wrench, lean on it until your shoulder pops (ouch!), and call it a day. But wheel torque isn't just about brute force -– ...

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 ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...
