The icy ballet of stone upon ice makes curling one of the most intriguing sports of the Winter Olympics. But scientists still haven't quite figured out the physics of how they move. For a sport that ...

Scientists have proposed a new kind of subatomic particle to explain another particle’s mysterious disintegration. The kaon, a special case of meson particle, is made of one quark and one antiquark.

Golf Digest senior writer Alex Myers is on a one-year mission to see how good he can get at golf through daily training, practice and playing. Read more from his “Late Scratch?” series here. Late in ...

Learn how basic physics can be used to estimate solar power output with simple, logical calculations. This video explains solar irradiance, energy conversion, and efficiency in a clear, intuitive ...

In this video, we break down an AP Physics 1 batteries and bulbs question step by step, explaining how circuits work and how current, voltage, and brightness are affected. Perfect for students ...

When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and grow chaotic. Instead, the atoms abruptly stopped absorbing energy and locked ...

A tool called AI-Newton can derive scientific laws from raw data, but is some way from developing human-like reasoning. Most artificial-intelligence (AI) models can reliably identify patterns in data ...

A new children’s book, titled Simple Machines Made Simple, wants to demystify mechanical engineering for kids as young as a year old. It recently beat its Kickstarter goal by 700%—raising more than ...

Quantum physics can seem pretty tough at first, but there are a lot of books out there that make it way less scary. If you’re just starting out and want to learn about quantum physics without getting ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three scientists on Tuesday for discovering that a bizarre barrier-defying phenomenon in the quantum realm could be observed on an electrical circuit in our ...
