Producing fusion energy requires heating plasma to more than one hundred million degrees and confining it stably with strong magnetic fields. However, plasma naturally develops fluctuations known as ...
Turbulence, famously described by Richard Feynman as “the last unsolved problem of classical physics”, pervades almost all natural and engineering flows. The century-old challenge of turbulence ...
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 ...
The idea that we’re living inside a simulation, as popularized by “The Matrix” franchise, has piqued the interest of scientists for decades. In 2003, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed in a highly ...
