Although Navier–Stokes equations are the foundation of modern hydrodynamics, adapting them to quantum systems has so far been a major challenge. Researchers from the Faculty of Physics at the ...
As we celebrate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) in 2025, we look back on a century of quantum mechanics—a field that has fundamentally changed the way we understand ...
Nearly 200 years ago, the physicists Claude-Louis Navier and George Gabriel Stokes put the finishing touches on a set of equations that describe how fluids swirl. And for nearly 200 years, the ...
Partial differential equations can describe everything from planetary motion to plate tectonics, but they’re notoriously hard to solve. Unless you’re a physicist or an engineer, there really isn’t ...
A million dollars in cash (£640,000) awaits anyone who can develop a rigorous mathematical model for how fluids flow – this week's Millennium Prize Problem. Fluids are extremely difficult to analyse ...
The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we hand over the keyboard to a physicist or mathematician to tell you about fascinating ideas from their corner of the ...
