This video demonstrates how to use Lagrange multipliers to find the tension in a falling yo-yo. By applying constraints and generalized coordinates, you’ll see how this powerful method reveals both ...

When we think about creatures skimming across water, images of birds landing or frogs leaping come to mind. But some of ...

Some have argued that the good agreement between lattice–QCD and the final measurement of Fermilab’s muon g–2 experiment ...

On 13 September 2025, 40 researchers came together at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) to discuss the neutron-lifetime ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have developed a gentle, contact-free method to collect liquids and remove them ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have developed a gentle, contact-free method to collect liquids and remove them from microscopic surface structures. The method uses vapor condensation to ...

Learn how tension and friction interact when an object moves at constant velocity. This video breaks down the force balance, explains why acceleration is zero, and shows how physics principles apply ...

On October 8, 2024, the field of physics was plunged into controversy. That day, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for discoveries not involving black holes, cosmology, or strange new subatomic ...

This holiday season, I am retiring my extra small knotless braids in exchange for creative low-tension styles. I knew it was time to reset when, this summer, I found a small bald spot, aka traction ...

Prize awarded for developing 'next generation of quantum technology' 'I'm completely stunned,' says UC Berkeley professor Quantum technology ubiquitous in everyday electronics Physics is second prize ...

STOCKHOLM, Sweden ‒ U.S.-based scientists John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for "experiments that revealed quantum physics in action," paving the way ...

Three U.S.-based scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for their discoveries in quantum mechanics. The award was given to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis for ...
