In this video, we’ll walk you through the process of calculating the coefficient of friction for a leaning ladder! 🪜🔧 Using basic physics principles, we’ll analyze the forces at play and show you ...

Explore how to calculate the magnetic force on a current-carrying loop from a long straight wire! This tutorial breaks down the physics concepts behind magnetic fields and forces, perfect for physics ...

Knots are everywhere—from tangled headphones to DNA strands packed inside viruses—but how an isolated filament can knot ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

Even the best telescopes can’t see exoplanets. It’s all about watching for jiggly stars, blue shifts, and transits.

The Quetzalcoatlus northropi was the largest flying animal that ever lived. The huge pterosaur existed during the Late ...

It’s possible to defy gravity using sound waves, magnets or electricity, but today’s methods can’t hoist heavy items high in ...

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have re-engineered the popular Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) for simulating ...

Even worse, the orbit of Mars is elliptical (think of a slight oval rather than a perfect circle), which means that sometimes ...

This autumn, a mature linden tree on the campus of the British School of Bucharest (BSB) was relocated to a new position ...

A 3D-printed Janus microchannel heat sink inspired by desert beetles enables ultrafast bubble removal and prevents CPU thermal throttling.
