All of the sports at the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortino involve some physics in action. For figure skating, ski jumping and curling, two of the basic laws of the physics of motion are at play: ...

There may be a fifth fundamental force of the universe that we haven’t documented yet — and, according to new research, our best bet of uncovering it may not lie in deep space, but in objects ...

Break down the physics behind the MythBusters Rocket Car with this detailed explanation of net force! In this video, we analyze the forces acting on the rocket car, step by step, to show how Newton’s ...

Some physicists believe that a fifth fundamental force could be the cause of some observational anomalies. A study is investigating ways to closely examine the trajectories of well-documented ...

What if the next new theory of the universe didn’t come from a human mind, but from an artificial one? In a development that has left the scientific community both awestruck and unsettled, artificial ...

The same pulling force that causes “tears” in a glass of wine also shapes embryos. It’s another example of how genes exploit mechanical forces for growth and development. Sip a glass of wine, and you ...

Mysterious moving rocks at Death Valley's Racetrack Playa have baffled observers for years. Scientists have now revealed that ...

The deviance of a tiny particle called the muon might prove that one of the most well-tested theories in physics is incomplete. By Katrina Miller Katrina Miller, a science reporter, recently earned a ...
