Figure 1: The mussel M. edulis and its byssus network. Here we report the first detailed investigation of the mechanical behaviour and failure of marine mussel thread networks. To examine how mussels ...
Curious about what happens when clay falls and hits the ground? We dive into the physics of impact force and why it matters! #PhysicsInMotion #ImpactForce #ClayImpact #FallingClay #ScienceOfForces #Ph ...
In the wake of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, investigators did a fairly simple physics calculation and realized that a piece of foam had struck the shuttle's left wing with more than a ton of ...
