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.

We preselected all newsletters you had before unsubscribing.

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, ...

While atmospheric turbulence is a familiar culprit of rough flights, the chaotic movement of turbulent flows remains an unsolved problem in physics. To gain insight into the system, a team 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 ...

Modern physics explains much of how the universe works, from atoms to galaxies. Yet some problems remain stubbornly unresolved, resisting even the most advanced theories. These puzzles expose gaps in ...

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 ...

A weird force that skirts traditional physics norms has helped erase a smudge on the foundations of particle physics. It’s a phenomenon called the “neutrino force,” by which neutrinos could ...
