In this video, we break down the physics behind clay pendulum balls and their collisions. Learn about momentum, energy transfer, and how these simple systems can explain key concepts in ...

As noted in the video, the question of whether a curve ball really changes direction or only appears to was hotly debated for a long time, until Briggs settled it in the late 50s. This is one of those ...

Learn how to make antibubbles and the science behind these fun, unusual spheres. Learn how to make antibubbles and the science behind these fun, unusual spheres. Antibubbles are a spherical shell of ...

Liquid bridges: wet packing of disks at 3.1% liquid content. The tomography image on the left is the raw data after noise reduction. The processed image on the right shows the spheres in blue and the ...

Two scientists have won a $100,000 prize for describing both the structure and a way to detect mysterious black hole photon spheres. These enigmatic structures form at the edges of black holes, and ...

Sometimes crazy things happen—so crazy they don’t even seem real. Last week, Phillies right fielder Bryce Harper was warming up before a game with some practice bats. He hit a nice line drive, and ...

Dyson spheres and rings could exist in the universe, if we’re dealing with a certain type of star system. One physicist tapped into centuries of research on the three body problem of celestial ...

Andria Rogava, a physicist from Ilia State University in Georgia, reveals how simple friction allows bizarre towers to be built using tennis balls – and wonders how far could you go? As a physicist ...

Alexandru Lupsasca and Michael Johnson won the physics prize for their work on photon spheres — weird rings of light around black holes that may reveal a theory of quantum gravity. When you purchase ...
