A research team has developed a novel method for estimating the predictability of complex dynamical systems. Their work, "Time-lagged recurrence: A data-driven method to estimate the predictability of ...

Accurately predicting how a system responds to sudden changes is a major challenge across fields like climate science, finance, and epidemiology. Now, a team of researchers has developed a powerful ...

Complexity science – which describes phenomena such as collective and emergent behaviour – is the focus of a new centre where researchers are examining everything from the spread of influenza to what ...

This experiment shows how fluid motion can create unexpected reactions that look chaotic but follow real physics principles ...

A study in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics explores how a machine-learning strategy known as transfer ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. A few centuries ago, the swirling polychromatic chaos of Jupiter’s atmosphere spawned the immense vortex that we call the Great Red Spot ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

Physics lies at the core of the earth sciences. It is essential for understanding the deep structure of Earth and the natural phenomena that affect Earth's surface, such as earthquakes and volcanic ...

The field of underwater optical communication is undergoing rapid transformation as researchers seek to address the physical limitations imposed by dynamic ...
