When starting this ice challenge, most people just step on the side of the bowl and slide down to the bottom. Then you’re ...

During the 2026 Winter Olympics, athletes will leap off ramps, slide across ice and spin through the air. These performances ...

Physicists suggest that a single, extraordinarily powerful cosmic signal detected on Earth could be linked to the explosive ...

Part one of a four part series on the fundamental forces (or interactions) of physics begins with the strong force or strong ...

Break down the physics behind the MythBusters Rocket Car with this detailed explanation of net force! In this video, we analyze the forces acting on the rocket car, step by step, to show how Newton’s ...

When the universe first burst into being, all of space was a cosmic cauldron filled with a roiling, fiery liquid of ...

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ...

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing that idea is challenging.

A strange form of matter called a time crystal has fascinated physicists for about a decade. These systems move in repeating cycles, even without a steady external push.

Time crystals, a collection of particles that "tick"—or move back and forth in repeating cycles—were first theorized and then ...

Recent integrative approaches suggest that physics cannot be adequately characterized by magnitude-based distinctions alone, such as those implied by Big-P, little-p, and mini-p physics. While these ...
