Chezy and Manning developed equations that are used to determine the average volumetric flowrate in open channels. This article explains a laboratory method that was developed and tested to further ...

Equations are the bedrock of science, expressing how numbers or physical properties relate at a fundamental level. Without equations, most of our technology would never have been invented. We may have ...

Proposed 15 years ago, the bounded L2 curvature conjecture has finally been proven by a group of researchers. It provides a potentially minimal framework in which it is possible to solve the Einstein ...

Frank Merle is used to confronting a messy world. A linear equation is something like y = 2x, which states that the value of ...

Algebra can often feel intimidating, filled with strange symbols and abstract concepts that seem hard to grasp. But with the right strategies, anyone can unlock its logic and see how algebra connects ...

For years, I’ve been discussing the importance of understanding and implementing good cybersecurity habits. But to understand cybersecurity, you need to understand cybercrime, and to understand ...

For this month's issue of Physics Today, I wrote about a new experiment using molecules as a probe of fundamental forces. As I was researching the topic, I was amazed to learn how little is known ...

Bernoulli's equation is a simple but incredibly important equation in physics and engineering that can help us understand a lot about the flow of fluids in the world around us. It essentially ...
