It seems counterintuitive, but a tug pushing at the center of a moving ship can still create a turn. This explains pivot point theory, induced water motion, and why ship handlers think in levers ...

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 ...

Understand tension forces through a fun superhero rope problem. This video uses a real-world–inspired scenario to explain how tension acts in a rope, how forces are distributed, and how Newton’s Laws ...

What Are Attoseconds? Nobel-winning Physics Explained By Daniel Lawler and Juliette Collen Oct 03, 2023, 11:52 am EDT Share ...

Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest and most fascinating phenomena in physics. Even Einstein didn’t believe it - he called it “spooky action at a distance” - but science has proven it true.

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 ...
