Taking the V-day bait, let's ask, "How are geeks spending their supposedly solitary Valentine's Days?" If they are into all that sweet mathematical physics action, they may be envisioning attractors.

(Phys.org)—A team of researchers working at the University of Hawaii using data from the Kepler space telescope, has found that the oscillations made by a star conform closely to the golden ...

Can we find order in chaos? Physicists have shown, for the first time that chaotic systems can synchronize due to stable structures that emerge from chaotic activity. These structures are known as ...

Chaos theory explains why some phenomena are unpredictable even though the phenomena are described by mathematical equations that are known perfectly well. For example, the weather seems impossible to ...
