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 ...

Kinetic energy has to do with the motion of an object—the faster it’s moving, the more kinetic energy it has. If you take a ...

Hailed as one of the 50 most important women in science, she found ways to study rare radioactive isotopes and advanced the ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 caused quite a stir last year when it was discovered and originally calculated to have a 3% chance of ...

Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

On a temporary scale, the rings are coming back, but in the (much) longer term they’re probably a beautiful but transient ...

Roller coasters are bumping against the limits of physics and the human body to keep their riders entertained.

Explore the physics behind why twisted balls untwist on their own. Discover the surprising forces and motion at play in this simple but fascinating experiment.

The Habitable Worlds Observatory is poised to tell us whether Earth-like planets are common—if it can get off the ground ...

It was in the 17th century that Christiaan Huygens and Giovanni Cassini first revealed Saturn’s stunning rings, changing the ...

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 ...

It was previously thought that children younger than 7 couldn't find efficient solutions to complex problems, but new ...
