A simple question on Reddit's r/cars sparked a viral physics debate: does the weight of a car affect the force you feel ...

My recent post on tightropes reminded me of a great "hack." Here's the situation. Your car is stuck in the mud, so you grab a rope and tie it to the front of the car and then the other end to a very ...

Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...

There is a building under construction next to the physics building. I can't help but pause each day to observe the progress. Currently, crews are using a massive crane to hoist steel pieces in place.

Two physicists in the US have come up with a way to use a “bubble” of ultracold atoms to measure extremely small forces. The scheme, which has yet to be tested experimentally, involves monitoring the ...

Hungarian researchers have reported the persistent detection of an anomalous decay signal, interpreted as evidence for a new particle, X17, which would necessitate the existence of a fifth fundamental ...

Physics centers essentially on four forces that control our known, visible universe, governing everything from the production of heat in the sun to the way your laptop works. They are gravity, ...
