Break down the physics behind the MythBusters Rocket Car with this detailed explanation of net force! In this video, we analyze the forces acting on the rocket car, step by step, to show how Newton’s ...

Part one of a four part series on the fundamental forces (or interactions) of physics begins with the strong force or strong interaction - which on the small scale holds quarks together to form ...

For the first time, physicists in China have virtually eliminated the friction felt between two surfaces at scales visible to the naked eye. In demonstrating "structural superlubricity," the team, led ...

When starting this ice challenge, most people just step on the side of the bowl and slide down to the bottom. Then you’re ...

As the Dark Energy Survey (DES) releases its final results, we caught up with two physicists who've been involved in the ...

This article originally appeared on The Conversation. As the weather grows cold this winter, you may be one of the many Americans pulling their winter jackets out of the closet. Not only can this ...

The same pulling force that causes “tears” in a glass of wine also shapes embryos. It’s another example of how genes exploit mechanical forces for growth and development. Sip a glass of wine, and you ...

When we imagine contact with extraterrestrial intelligence, we tend to picture messages: radio signals, mathematical codes, or perhaps a universal language waiting to be discovered. But what if alien ...

So Oh. Yeah. Yeah. This is all about having combining the engineering design process and the physics theory. It uses impulse momentum, Newton's laws of motion, and kinematics, which is what they've ...

Chalmers researchers have developed a simple, light-based platform to study the mysterious “invisible glue” that binds materials at the nanoscale. Gold flakes floating in salt water reveal how quantum ...

The weak nuclear force doesn't play by the normal rules — and, in fact, it breaks one of the biggest rules of all. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Prize awarded for developing 'next generation of quantum technology' 'I'm completely stunned,' says UC Berkeley professor Quantum technology ubiquitous in everyday electronics Physics is second prize ...
