How do skateboarders seemingly defy gravity? How do gymnasts flip in the air? They have skill — and, as a Times interactive explored, an understanding of the laws of motion, physics and energy. By ...

DIY Science Time is available to stream on pbs.org and the free PBS App, available on iPhone, Apple TV, Android TV, Android smartphones, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Tablet, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, and ...

Engineers have developed a prototype metamaterial that uses electrical signals to control both the direction and intensity of energy waves passing through a solid material. Potential applications of ...

Newton's Three Laws on Motion are at work in virtually every Disney theme park ride and attraction. The Walt Disney Imagineers demonstrate how they use Newton's Three Laws to create some of the most ...

Since 1687, Sir Isaac Newton’s three laws of motion, as published in his work “Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy,” have guided our understanding of the relationships between physical ...

Lacking actual exercise of the body, bicycling is a showing of scientific principles in motion. Bicycle riding depends on basic physics laws, aerodynamics, biomechanics, and energy maximization, be it ...

The idea of emergent gravity is still new and requires a lot of assumptions in its calculations to make it work. But if experimental evidence ever proves it real, we would need to totally rewrite the ...

For hundreds of years, we have been told what Newton’s First Law of Motion supposedly says, but recently a paper published in Philosophy of Science (preprint) by [Daniel Hoek] argues that it is based ...

Step into the hidden science lab in your kitchen with five easy experiments that explain refraction, surface tension, ...
