Contrary to a common misconception, physics is not best measured by the memorization of lots of formulae. A small number of simple ideas, applied correctly, can describe a remarkable amount of the ...

In this demo, a block on a stick climbs up the stick when the stick is hit with a hammer. Here's how it works.

Simple physics A book that helps to explain complicated scientific or technical terms using only a thousand most commonly used words in English ...

I am also a huge physics fan, and pole dancing is chock-full of basic physics. Angular momentum, center of mass, friction, levers, static equilibrium—it’s all there.

New computer models using simple granular physics have been able to match the curious diamond shape of asteroids like Bennu and Ryugu. IMAGE: Two diamond shaped, rubble-pile asteroids have been ...

The colored rings that surround shadows on clouds are still not fully explained, which is a great reminder of the richness of the macroscopic universe we experience.

There are people who can do truly amazing and fascinating experiments, and luckily for you, we created a list of 10 simple physics experiments with everyday materials to learn and impress your ...

A provocative new paper is proposing that complex intelligent behavior may emerge from a fundamentally simple physical process. The theory offers novel prescriptions for how to build an AI — but ...

A new light-based method lets tiny quantum dots release perfectly controlled photons, opening doors to faster and cheaper ...
