Biological cells are remarkably capable force sensors and mechanical actuators. Fresh data and extended modelling lead us closer to uncovering just how they do it. Interest in the intimate mechanical ...

Sometimes, the simplest explanation is the best one," Professor Gupta said. "Maybe the universe’s biggest secrets are just ...

What is the meaning of life? Even the best of us couldn't hope to answer that question in a Universe Today article. But there ...

In January I wrote a piece titled “ 5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know .” Lots of you weighed in with your own ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

More than 700,000 GCSE physics students could be without a specialist teacher, a report has warned. The Institute of Physics (IOP) has called for urgent action to tackle the shortage in physics ...

"With this, we can detect very tiny changes in both position and momentum at once, beyond the limit of any classical sensor," the authors explained.

Scientists propose that gravitational waves shaped the universe. Their model challenges inflation theory. How exactly did the ...

The researchers found that a slightly curved meniscus allows more wave energy to pass through the barrier. Conversely, if the meniscus curves more steeply, it reduces the energy transported by the ...

Join us for an exclusive in-person event at the Royal Institution in central London this November, as the Institute of Physics commemorates the past, present and future of quantum physics Regular ...
