A quantum problem once described as impossible for classical computers has now been solved using relatively modest hardware.

Physicists have debated which way a submerged sprinkler sucking in water would spin. Careful experiments provide an answer.

Quirky backyard sprinklers helped scientists solve a decades-old mystery about how flowing water makes objects spin.

Don't underestimate the power of a yes-or-no question. Some of the toughest computing problems boil down to thousands of tiny ...

How can you have a proof without proving anything? Mathematicians found a way and, in the process, came to blows over it – but 100 years on, this trick is a common part of modern maths, says columnist ...

A team of mathematicians used whimsical "silly sprinklers" to solve a physics mystery that has puzzled scientists for decades ...
