Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter weren't able to crack the dark matter problem, but a team of experts might have figured ...

In this video, we break down the classic physics problem of a block on an incline with friction. Learn how to calculate the forces at play, including gravitational force, normal force, and frictional ...

WHEN we were 16 years old, my friend Karen and I were interviewed for an educational video. With our hair thick with styling mousse, pale blue eyeliner and misplaced teen swagger, we explained why we ...

Here is classic (and difficult) physics problem that poses an interesting question: Take two points in space, Point 1 and Point 2. What is the path from point 1 to 2 that a frictionless object could ...

The best questions are always the ones that don't have a single clear answer. In my physics classes, I like to present students with problems that can promote a lively discussion—and to do that, they ...

The Muon g-2 electromagnet at Fermilab, ready to receive a beam of muon particles. This experiment began in 2017 and will take data for a total of 3 years, reducing the uncertainties significantly.

Basic research in nuclear physics also provides essential input to astrophysics, atomic physics, and particle physics. Opening doors to completely new possibilities "I am incredibly excited to be able ...

Numerical programming and computer simulations are ubiquitous through all subjects in physics. Thus, computational physics has grown to be an appealing field for those who wish to acquire advanced and ...
