Usually, when someone starts talking about the interface between evolution and physics, it’s a prelude to a terrible argument that attempts to claim that evolution can’t possibly happen. So, ...

Different insects flap their wings in different manners. Understanding the variations between these modes of flight may help scientists design better and more efficient flying robots in the future.

The concept of spacetime, first described in Einstein's theory of general relativity, has since been widely studied by many ...

Assembly theory bridges the gap between physics and biology in explaining how complex objects are identifiable as products of evolution and how reusability of parts allows novelty and identical ...

Quantum systems tend to become less “quantum-y” as they interact with their environment. So when developing a mathematical description, it’s usually simpler just to view them as being closed off from ...

Biological physics, or the physics of living systems, has emerged fully as a field of physics, alongside more traditional fields of astrophysics and cosmology, atomic, molecular and optical physics, ...
