Combining physics-based models and big data can lead to systematically better hypotheses.
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Finding a reasonable hypothesis can be difficult when there are thousands of possibilities. This is why Dr. Joseph Sun II Kwon seeks to develop hypotheses that are generalizable and systematic. Kwon, an associate professor in Texas A&M University’s Artie McFerrin School of Chemical Engineering, published research in Nature Chemical Engineering that combines traditional physics-based scientific models…

Do you walk or run in the rain? A physics-based approach to staying dry (or at least drier)
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain We’ve all had the experience of going outside without an umbrella when the sky opens up. Whether it’s light rain or heavy rain, your instincts tell you that running will keep you from getting wet to a minimum. But is it really true? Let’s take a scientific look at this common dilemma.
