The DESY laboratory in Germany has revealed plans for a next-generation electron-positron linear collider and X-ray source that will cost $2.8bn. Edwin Cartlidge reports on the plans. An international ...

Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

Linear measurement tools are essential for determining the dimensions of an object. These tools provide a way to quantify distance in a straight line. In engineering and physics, getting your ...

The outcome of the experiment wasn't what they were expecting, and the complexity of the problem underpinned the then new field of non-linear physics and paved the way for six decades of new thinking.
