The power of the new equations of motion developed in part I of this paper is illustrated using three examples from multi-body dynamics. The first two examples deal with the problem of accurately ...

Lowry Kirkby reviews The Theoretical Minimum: What You Need to Know to Start Doing Physics by Leonard Susskind and George Hrabovsky Thirst for physics: Leonard Susskind's popular series of lectures ...

Sometimes, it’s easy for a computer to predict the future. Simple phenomena, such as how sap flows down a tree trunk, are straightforward and can be captured in a few lines of code using what ...

What is the Stokes-Einstein Equation? The Stokes-Einstein equation is a fundamental relation in physics that describes the diffusion of spherical particles through a fluid with low Reynolds number. It ...

A team of researchers in Spain says that it has developed an equation that describes how intricate surface patterns, resembling a cauliflower-like motif, evolve and develop over time. The researchers ...

YOU may think that complex equations and alcohol don’t, or perhaps shouldn’t, mix. But make your favourite cocktail and you will unknowingly encounter some of the most complex processes in fluid ...
