I came across a neat video, via Jennifer Ouellette, where a couple of MIT students re-enact a classic physics textbook problem. It's a problem that I first heard over a decade ago, when I was in high ...

Here is classic (and difficult) physics problem that poses an interesting question: Take two points in space, Point 1 and Point 2. What is the path from point 1 to 2 that a frictionless object could ...

By partnering with artificial intelligence (AI), a researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has solved a long-standing physics problem and uncovered the ...

Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter weren't able to crack the dark matter problem, but a team of experts might have figured ...

A professor at the University of Cincinnati and his colleagues have figured out something two of America's most famous ...

WHEN we were 16 years old, my friend Karen and I were interviewed for an educational video. With our hair thick with styling mousse, pale blue eyeliner and misplaced teen swagger, we explained why we ...

In this video, we break down the classic physics problem of a block on an incline with friction. Learn how to calculate the forces at play, including gravitational force, normal force, and frictional ...

The Muon g-2 electromagnet at Fermilab, ready to receive a beam of muon particles. This experiment began in 2017 and will take data for a total of 3 years, reducing the uncertainties significantly.

For physicists who have fallen for the charms of one another, finding two permanent physics jobs in the same place is one of the toughest challenges they face. Valerie Jamieson asks couples how they ...
