Surprisingly, a quintessential equation of quantum mechanics emerges while studying astronomical disks of orbiting material. Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics governing the sometimes-strange ...

The motions of undulating animals and the states of quantum objects can be described using strikingly similar equations. Alexander Cohen at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his colleagues ...

For those of you who take sandcastle building very seriously, listen up: engineers now say you can trust a very simple equation to calculate the force required to push a shovel -- and any other ...
