The axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations describe the motion of incompressible fluids under the assumption of rotational symmetry around a fixed axis. This reduction in dimensional complexity retains ...

As we celebrate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) in 2025, we look back on a century of quantum mechanics—a field that has fundamentally changed the way we understand ...

The famed Navier-Stokes equations can lead to cases where more than one result is possible, but only in an extremely narrow set of situations. For nearly two centuries, all kinds of researchers ...

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

Partial differential equations can describe everything from planetary motion to plate tectonics, but they’re notoriously hard to solve. Unless you’re a physicist or an engineer, there really isn’t ...
