Pi (π) is a fundamental mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Recently, physicists Aninda Sinha and Arnab Priya Saha from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) explored new perspectives on pi through their research in high-energy physics and quantum theory. Despite pi being an infinitely irrational number, advancements […]

The solutions to Einstein’s formulas that describe a spinning black holes will not explode, even when poked or prodded. In 1963, the mathematician Roy Kerr discovered a solution to Einstein’s formulas that precisely described the space-time outside what we currently call a rotating black hole. (The term wouldn’t be created for a few more yrs.)

For more than 250 years, mathematicians have been attempting to “blow up” a few of one of the most important formulas in physics. Those explain exactly how liquids circulate. If they are successful, they will certainly have found a scenario in which those equations break down a vortex. That spins definitely fast, possibly or a

Despite hand-washing being confirmed effective in combating the spread of illness and infection, its physics has rarely been studied. However, in Physics of Fluids, by AIP Publishing scientists from Hammond Consulting Limited describe a straightforward model that catches the essential mechanics of hand-washing. They estimated the time scales on which particles, like viruses and bacteria,
