From vector diagrams to real collision experiments, momentum labs bring physics concepts into focus. Students connect theory with practice by designing and analyzing their own setups. These activities ...

As Homer tells us, Odysseus made an epic journey, against the odds, from Troy to his home in Ithaca. He visited many lands, ...

Researchers from Skoltech and the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics have developed an approach that helps ...

Scientists have created a powerful new way to control quantum systems, achieving the first-ever demonstration of ...

Physicists in China have simulated false vacuum decay — a theoretical quantum event that could abruptly end the universe — using a ring of highly excited Rydberg atoms. The tabletop experiment ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics attempts ...

Magnets like this one are great at picking up metal objects like these, but once you pick them up how do you let them go? For that you need a special type of magnet – an electromagnet. Magnetism and ...
