A new paper published in Nature Communications could put scientists on the path to understanding one of the wildest, hottest, ...

Quantum mechanics and the general theory of relativity form the bedrock of the current understanding of physics—yet the two theories don't seem to work together. Physical phenomena rely on ...

You’re probably familiar with the old joke about a physicist who, when asked to use science to help a dairy farmer, begins by approximating a spherical cow in a vacuum. But maybe it’s time to ...

Two forces can be added together to find a resultant force. In the diagram of a toy trailer below, when two children pull on the handle, one with a force of 3 newtons (N) to the left and one with a ...

Do you need some practice with force diagrams for your introductory (or advanced) physics course? Here are three questions (and the last one is awesome) about the motion of a bike as it is pulled.

Students in any classroom around the world could soon be able to reimagine the standard diagrams in any physics textbook by ...
