Physicists have solved a long-standing problem involving systems that appear to violate Newton’s third law, such as bird ...

A study published in Nature Communications and directed by Professor Carlo Vittorio Cannistraci, Director of the Center for Complex Network Intelligence (CCNI) at the Tsinghua Laboratory of Brain and ...

A research team has developed a novel method for estimating the predictability of complex dynamical systems. Their work, "Time-lagged recurrence: A data-driven method to estimate the predictability of ...

Accurately predicting how a system responds to sudden changes is a major challenge across fields like climate science, finance, and epidemiology. Now, a team of researchers has developed a powerful ...

Complexity science – which describes phenomena such as collective and emergent behaviour – is the focus of a new centre where researchers are examining everything from the spread of influenza to what ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. A few centuries ago, the swirling polychromatic chaos of Jupiter’s atmosphere spawned the immense vortex that we call the Great Red Spot ...

Physics lies at the core of the earth sciences. It is essential for understanding the deep structure of Earth and the natural phenomena that affect Earth's surface, such as earthquakes and volcanic ...
