All of the sports at the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortino involve some physics in action. For figure skating, ski jumping ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

Learn how to calculate and understand the force on a wire loop entering a magnetic field in this detailed physics tutorial! We break down the concepts of magnetic flux, Lorentz force, and induced ...

Physicists at NYU have discovered a new type of time crystal—an exotic state of matter whose particles rhythmically “tick” while levitating on sound waves.

Learn the physics behind the force on a block on an incline in this clear and easy-to-understand explanation! This lesson breaks down concepts like normal force, friction, and gravitational components ...

Luke Aikins went skydiving without a parachute. This is crazy---not because it's impossible, but because really bad things happen if you make a mistake. If you haven't seen the video, it shows Aikins ...

There may be a fifth fundamental force of the universe that we haven’t documented yet — and, according to new research, our best bet of uncovering it may not lie in deep space, but in objects ...

My recent post on tightropes reminded me of a great "hack." Here's the situation. Your car is stuck in the mud, so you grab a rope and tie it to the front of the car and then the other end to a very ...

In recent years, a group of Hungarian researchers have made headlines with a bold claim. They say they’ve discovered a new particle — dubbed X17 — that requires the existence of a fifth force of ...

In many people’s minds, the primary focus of physics is on the very large (black holes, the distant universe and the problems of cosmology) or the very small (the Higgs boson and the other subatomic ...
