Watching a ski jumper fly through the air might get you wondering, “How do they do that?” The answer is – physics!That’s why ...

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun, and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are ...

The physics of the spiral pass have baffled physicists and football fans for decades. EMILY KWONG, HOST: ...

The team used an AI method known as equation discovery to develop a model to simulate the interactions between small eddies—circular, vortex-like currents—and large-scale ones. These interactions are ...

During the 2026 Winter Olympics, athletes will leap off ramps, slide across ice and spin through the air. These performances will look different to my students who have studied physics through sports.

A University of Portsmouth physicist has explored whether a new law of physics could support the much-debated theory that we are simply characters in an advanced virtual world. The simulated universe ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

Spin glasses might turn out to be the most useful useless things ever discovered. These materials — which are typically made of metal, not glass — exhibit puzzling behaviors that captivated a small ...

Almost anytime physicists announce that they’ve discovered a new particle, whether it’s the Higgs boson or the recently bagged double-charm tetraquark, what they’ve actually spotted is a small bump ...

Explore the laws of matter and energy while mastering physics concepts that explain the universe, power innovation, and matter and energy. Participate in paid cooperative education and hands-on ...

What is happening right now? Is your “now” the same as my “now”? It seems like a simple question, that is, until you introduce relativity. You see, you and I experience time differently. For one of us ...

The picture I’ve placed above is an interesting one. For those not in the know, it’s an image from the “MotoGP Lean Angle Experience.” Long story short, it allows regular punters like you and I to ...
