The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we hand over the keyboard to a physicist or two to tell you about fascinating ideas from their corner of the universe.

As a physics major, it feels like I spend the majority of my waking life solving problems. I’ve calculated the amount of water you get from mixing different ratios of steam and ice, the path of ...

A machine-learning AI can solve physics problems by simplifying them to be more symmetric. “There are many, many cases in the history of science where people thought things were more complicated than ...

In this video, we explore the Standard Model of particle physics, detailing the quantum field theories that describe ...

In October, a paper titled “Assembly theory explains and quantifies selection and evolution” appeared in the top science journal Nature. The authors – a team led by Lee Cronin at the University of ...

If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions are the result of one or more of five basic forces: strong nuclear, weak ...
