New technologies are enabling scientists to tackle previously elusive physics problems. The macroscopic realm, which consists of everything from falling balls to orbiting planets, can be explained by ...

This is a classic classical mechanics problem. It goes something like this. A small block of ice is placed on the top of an inverted spherical bowl. The ice is then given a slight nudge so that is ...

We analyze the paper "The wave mechanics of α-ray tracks" Mott (Proc R Soc Lond A 126:79–84, 1929), published in 1929 by N. F. Mott. In particular, we discuss the theoretical context in which the ...

Sam Mugel, Ph.D., is the CTO of Multiverse Computing, a global leader in developing value-driven quantum solutions for businesses. Quantum mechanics, which is the study of the behavior of sub-atomic ...

Researchers have announced the observation of a dynamic Mott transition in a superconductor. The discovery experimentally connects the worlds of classical and quantum mechanics and illuminates the ...

Occasionally we come across a problem in classical mechanics that poses particular difficulties for translation into the quantum world. A new mathematical model has provided some insights into one of ...

Russian-American mathematician and Wolf Prize laureate Yakov Eliashberg delivered a public talk at IIT Madras on Thursday, as part of the inaugural annual TNQ Distinguished Lecture in Mathematics. The ...
