Learn how to make a simple DIY pendulum using a ping pong ball and basic household materials. This step-by-step guide shows ...

Exotic hypothetical particles known as axions could potentially be produced inside a nuclear reactor, something The Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon Cooper thought was impossible.

Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian approaches! 🕰️🔬 In this video, we explore the motion of a simple pendulum from three different perspectives: the Newtonian approach (using forces and ...

Almost exactly 200 years ago, French physicist Sadi Carnot determined the maximum efficiency of heat engines. The Carnot ...

The pendulum at the museum is attached to a 61-foot-long cable. It typically swings as the Earth rotates, knocking down pegs, until it suddenly stopped this month. The Houston Museum of Natural ...

How is it that quantum physics governs the very smallest things in the universe, yet classical, Newtonian rules describe the movements of everything else, from people to planets? In the second of two ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

Hiring feels deceptively simple. Not easy, but straightforward. You identify a gap, fill it, and move forward. But too often, what feels like a remedy is a swing in the wrong direction. A founder ...

Microsoft’s near-term margin pressure reflects a “physics problem” of massive AI CapEx colliding with surging long-term demand. Satya Nadella’s “new economics of AI” signals a company-wide shift ...

While atmospheric turbulence is a familiar culprit of rough flights, the chaotic movement of turbulent flows remains an unsolved problem in physics. To gain insight into the system, a team of ...

The study of the pendulum problem lies at the intersection of mathematics and physics, with a focus on its representation through differential equations. However, finding analytical solutions using ...

Daniel Whiteson and Andy Warner’s upcoming book is a philosophical exploration of the humanity behind our desire to find aliens. Reading time 6 minutes At Gizmodo, we love a good story about ...
