The most useful skill I learnt during my studies, other than technical physics knowledge, was definitely programming. It comes into everything I do now; even simple every-day tasks often involve a ...

In the 1950s, physicist Chien-Shiung Wu was doing research at Columbia University when two other physicists approached her with a bold idea, but no way to prove it—until Wu found one. io9’s comment of ...

Grover Washington Jr. Middle School teachers Alison Barnes and Gwen Huett don sumo suits to explain basic physics to fifth grade students as part of the "FMA Live! Forces in Motion" performance on ...

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, ...

The following is an excerpt from Seven Brief Lessons On Physics, by Carlo Rovelli. These lessons were written for those who know little or nothing about modern science. Together they provide a rapid ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A proposed project to help scientists use the laws of physics to view multiscale physical events with a clarity never before achieved has won an Early Career Research Program ...

Turbulence, the violently unruly disturbance of plasma, can prevent plasma from growing hot enough to fuel fusion reactions. Long a puzzling concern of researchers has been the impact on turbulence of ...

During the 2024-25 school year, students in Southern Adventist University’s physics club taught lessons about the basics of Quantum Information Science and Technology (QUIST) at three local schools.

The goal of drive-system engineers is usually pretty straightforward. Specify the smallest motor and drive needed to accelerate and run a load at a required rate, and determine the braking forces ...
