A photon emitted from a star a billion light-years away arrives at a telescope having experienced no time whatsoever. Not ...

Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...

Abstract: The relative orbital motion of a charged object near a spaceborne magnetic dipole is presented in this article, where the intersatellite Lorentz force is taken into consideration. Assuming ...

Physics derivation of the range equation for projectile motion—understand how the formula for maximum horizontal distance is derived from fundamental principles. This video walks through the kinematic ...

Long before he earned the nickname the “Quad God,” U.S. men’s figure skating champion and gold medalist Ilia Malinin was part of a University of Delaware biomechanics study that measured jumping ...

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are governed by the same laws of physics, and give rise to a complex phenomenon known ...

Foams are everywhere: soap suds, shaving cream, whipped toppings and food emulsions like mayonnaise. For decades, scientists believed that foams behave like glass, their microscopic components trapped ...

On October 8, 2024, the field of physics was plunged into controversy. That day, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for discoveries not involving black holes, cosmology, or strange new subatomic ...

In the latest twist in human evolution, scientists have discovered that a mysterious foot found in Ethiopia belonged to a previously unknown ancient relative. Dated to around 3.4 million years ago, ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

He was working as a “quant” in his first job out of college. That’s hedge-fund speak for a stock-trading analyst at a statistical-model-driven quant fund. But like many people who spend their energy ...

ABSTRACT: In 1905, Einstein established relativity under the condition of denying the absolute space-time valid in Newtonian mechanics. In those days, the quantum theory was also established by ...
