Elusive Higgs-Like State Created in Exotic Materials
...that it was possible to use existing theoretical tools to explain the evolution of the Higgs mode. Keimer’s group found that the Higgs mode parallels the behavior of the Higgs...
To Test Einstein’s Equations, Poke a Black Hole
...response. Einstein’s field equations describe the evolution of the shape of space-time. You give the equations information about curvature and energy at each point, and the equations tell you the...
How Einstein Lost His Bearings, and With Them, General Relativity
...— describe how the shape of space-time evolves in response to the presence of matter and energy. To describe that evolution, you need to impose on space-time a coordinate system...

The Physics of Glass Opens a Window Into Biology
...and protein folding. And now it shows up all over the place: in patterns in evolution, in magnets, in the dynamics of social networks. I would say that’s because glasses...
The Universe Is Not a Simulation, but We Can Now Simulate It
