Physics of drag forces in calculating the L1 Lagrange point and understanding how non-gravitational forces influence precise orbital positioning. Learn how drag, solar radiation pressure, and other ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

All of the sports at the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortino involve some physics in action. For figure skating, ski jumping ...

Learn the physics behind the force on a block on an incline in this clear and easy-to-understand explanation! This lesson breaks down concepts like normal force, friction, and gravitational components ...

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 ...

This story is part of Short Wave's series Space Camp about all the weird, wonderful things happening in the universe. Check out the rest of the series. What does it take to launch into space? Other ...

Physicists at NYU have discovered a new type of time crystal—an exotic state of matter whose particles rhythmically “tick” while levitating on sound waves.

Sometimes the universe is just too complicated to analyze. Heck, if you take a tennis ball and toss it across the room, even that is practically too complicated. After it leaves your hand, the ball ...

A team of EPFL researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account ...
