A tool called AI-Newton can derive scientific laws from raw data, but is some way from developing human-like reasoning.

Turbulence, the violently unruly disturbance of plasma, can prevent plasma from growing hot enough to fuel fusion reactions. Long a puzzling concern of researchers has been the impact on turbulence of ...

A long-standing basic question in biology relates to how life satisfies the fundamental constraints put on it by physics and chemistry. Darwin's warm pond hypothesis for the origin of primordial cells ...

I find it odd that some people still express skepticism or outright denial of climate change science. Physicists derived one of the fundamental insights into climate change by 1850: Air holds 7% more ...
