Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...

A tool called AI-Newton can derive scientific laws from raw data, but is some way from developing human-like reasoning.

A new theory-based approach provides access to the minute transverse motion of quarks within protons. Nuclear physicists have developed a new theoretical framework that allows them to calculate a ...

Tugging a small toy with your dog can be a lot of fun—but it’s also a great way to experiment with forces acting on an object. Forces are what scientists call the pushing and pulling on objects. In ...

In this 2018 photo made available by CERN, Nikolai Bondar works on the LHCb Muon system at the European Organization for Nuclear Research Large Hadron Collider facility outside of Geneva. Preliminary ...

Stefan Hutzler and Denis Weaire are in the School of Physics, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. Their postgraduate student Ali Irannezhad currently performs his experiments in his home in Tehran, Iran.

Imagine two people walking side by side - one of them might already know the future of an alien civilization. The Andromeda Paradox isn’t just bizarre - it forces us to question whether “now” even ...

I see this problem all the time. The idea that if you apply a constant force on an object, it should move at a constant speed. Really, this is what Aristotle would say, right? There are two course ...

Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...

Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works — a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and ...
