A new model from a Florida Tech professor suggests how planets are formed may determine if they have water. The study proposes that some planets may be "born dry" because they lack a way to attract ...

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 ...

Heat has always been something we thought we understood. From baking bread to running engines, the idea seemed simple: heat spreads out smoothly, like water soaking through a sponge. That simple ...

Many of us don’t spend enough time in the weight room and that can come at a disadvantage. The faster you realize strength training and running go hand in hand, the sooner you’ll boost your ...

People think they've found Martian images of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS on NASA's website. They might be right.

Our eyes are tuned to only a tiny proportion of the electromagnetic spectrum, but it’s where the Sun is brightest.

Knowing how many calories you burned on a run isn’t required. Calorie-counting can foster a complicated—and sometimes unhealthy—relationship with food and exercise. When you go for a run, you know you ...

On the night of Oct. 5, 1923, Edwin Hubble observed a strange star that flickered in intensity at regular intervals. The star, dubbed M31-V1, was key to showing that the universe extended far beyond ...

If there is an absolute law in the universe, it’s that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Space is big, and while the speed of light is incredibly fast to us humans, on interstellar ...

Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise measurements in particle physics.

For science-fiction enthusiasts, that’s a bit depressing. Space is big, and while the speed of light is incredibly fast to us humans, on interstellar scales it’s glacially slow. Even at a photon’s ...
