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 ...

Virtual particles exploit the natural fuzziness of the subatomic world, where if these ephemeral particles live briefly ...

The simulation of strongly interacting many-body systems is a key objective of quantum physics research, as it can help to ...

He and a colleague created a sensation in 1956 by proposing that one of the four forces of nature might violate a law of ...

Quantum computers hold great potential for solving many problems more quickly or efficiently than conventional computers, but ...

Shock waves should not be shocking—engineers across scientific fields need to be able to precisely predict how the instant and strong pressure changes initiate and dissipate to prevent damage. Now, ...
