IISc researchers reveal connections between Ramanujan's pi formulae and modern high-energy physics, enhancing calculations in turbulence and black hole theories.

BENGALURU: Everyone has studied the irrational number π (pi) in school and wondered what is its use in modern day life.

Scientists at CERN spent the last decade waiting for a one-in-ten-billion chance event, and now they’ll spend the next few years figuring out whether it challenges the laws that (we think) govern the ...

THE sixth-form scholar and the first-year university student are in these days well catered for in the matter of textbooks of physics. To be sure, these in general conform to a standard pattern which ...

In late 2008, a few onlookers believed that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) would bring the end of the world. Three years later, our planet remains intact, but the European particle smasher may have ...

If you can get beyond the overuse of “awesome” and its derivatives, this video asks some important questions about how physics is taught in US schools – and in many other countries around the world.

THERE is a distinct tendency in recent American text-books for the authors to expound the subject matter of physics as if their books were intended to appeal to readers whose professional interests ...
