New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...
Physicists discovered that the famous ‘Star Trek’ spaceship got a lot right about designing a ship to jump from galaxy to ...
Contemporary physics has learned to describe the universe with unprecedented precision. Yet when it tries to say what time is, it stumbles again and ...
In this video, we break down the classic physics problem of a block on an incline with friction. Learn how to calculate the forces at play, including gravitational force, normal force, and frictional ...
Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up ...
Taking a look back over the last twelve months, here are several of the biggest science stories in physics this year, as well ...
Step inside the strange world of a superfluid, a liquid that can flow endlessly without friction, defying the common-sense ...
One proposed way of examining if such a force could exist is by closely monitoring asteroid trajectories, and few near-Earth ...
Understand the difference between centrifugal, Coriolis, and centripetal forces with a clear and simple explanation. This guide breaks down each concept with intuitive examples, making it easier to ...
How is it that quantum physics governs the very smallest things in the universe, yet classical, Newtonian rules describe the movements of everything else, from people to planets? In the second of two ...
Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...
