In this video, we explain the Work-Energy Principle and how to determine the work done on an object. Learn how force, displacement, and the angle between them come into play when calculating work, and ...

Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in ...

Tracking the first astronauts’ visit to Mars won’t be as simple as watching a clock or marking days off of a calendar. Thanks ...

By establishing a larger principle for how things shatter, certain energy-intensive tasks could gain an advantage.

For nearly a century, scientists have understood how crystalline materials—such as metals and semiconductors—bend without ...

Ramanujan's pi-computing machinery exactly mirrors the necessary structure in modern physical theories (LCFTs).

A new study reveals that Srinivasa Ramanujan’s century-old formulas for calculating pi unexpectedly emerge within modern theories of critical phenomena, turbulence, and black holes. In school, many of ...

"Welcome to an introduction to rotational motion and kinematics! In this video, we’ll break down the key concepts of rotational motion, including angular displacement, velocity, and acceleration.

Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

This means that, due to time dilation, you would age faster on Mars than on Earth. If you were to spend a whole 50 years on the Red Planet, you’d end up a whole 9 seconds older than if you had stayed ...
