For decades, physicists have argued about Feynman’s Sprinkler Problem, the question of how a reverse sprinkler would operate.
A quantum problem once described as impossible for classical computers has now been solved using relatively modest hardware.
Each summer, lawns are marked by a familiar addition: "silly sprinklers," whose loops and spirals spew water in creative ways ...

Physics problems that keep scientists searching for answers

Physics is still full of big questions that scientists have not completely answered. From the mysteries of dark matter and ...
Physicists have debated which way a submerged sprinkler sucking in water would spin. Careful experiments provide an answer.
The Muon g-2 electromagnet at Fermilab, ready to receive a beam of muon particles. This experiment began in 2017 and will take data for a total of 3 years, reducing the uncertainties significantly.
The 'three-body problem,' the term coined for predicting the motion of three gravitating bodies in space, is essential for understanding a variety of astrophysical processes as well as a large class ...
As a physics major, it feels like I spend the majority of my waking life solving problems. I’ve calculated the amount of water you get from mixing different ratios of steam and ice, the path of ...
Black physicists say efforts to recruit and retain more Black students must concentrate on challenges they face at both Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Primarily White Institutions.
