Researchers adapt a novel force measurement technique to uncover the previously unidentified physics at play at the thin air-film gap between water droplets and superhydrophobic surfaces. Microscopic ...

Python physics explained: tides and their mathematical model. Learn how tidal forces work and how to model them step-by-step in Python using clean math, simple assumptions, and clear visual intuition.

Discover the physics behind the MythBusters rocket car experiment by breaking down how momentum changes during thrust and motion. This video explains impulse, force, and conservation of momentum in a ...

The following essay is reprinted with permission from The Conversation, an online publication covering the latest research. Speed alone may be the factor that draws many sports fans to the bobsled, ...

A subatomic particle called the muon is wobbling far more than leading physics models can explain. Its unusual behavior could be evidence of a fifth force of nature or a new dimension. Scientists ...

Over the short span of just 300 years, since the invention of modern physics, we have gained a deeper understanding of how our universe works on both small and large scales. Yet, physics is still very ...
