A new AI developed at Duke University can uncover simple, readable rules behind extremely complex systems. It studies how systems evolve over time and reduces thousands of variables into compact ...

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism ...

This experiment puts a supposed perpetual motion device to the test. We break down how it works, what physics says should happen, and whether the motion can actually last without an external energy ...

A hands-on physics experiment demonstrates how a basic self-braking pulley works, explaining the forces and friction that allow it to stop itself without extra mechanisms.

Studying one of the simplest animals, Stanford's Prakash Lab uncovered how it folds itself into complex shapes—revealing new ...
