A new study enhances hydrogen molecule predictions, achieving unprecedented precision in testing fundamental physics and ...

"Opposites charges attract; like charges repel" is a long-held fundamental principle of physics that you might have heard at school, but your teacher may have been wrong. Researchers from the ...

From Newton's Laws of Motion to electric forces, these concepts explain why matter behaves the way it does.artpartner-images/The Image Bank/Getty Images Physics is the science that quantifies reality.

The following is an excerpt from Seven Brief Lessons On Physics, by Carlo Rovelli. These lessons were written for those who know little or nothing about modern science. Together they provide a rapid ...

The goal of drive-system engineers is usually pretty straightforward. Specify the smallest motor and drive needed to accelerate and run a load at a required rate, and determine the braking forces ...

One of the most well-accepted physical theories makes no logical sense. Quantum mechanics, the theory that governs the smallest possible spaces, forces our human brains to accept some really wacky, ...

Applied physics bridges the gap between physics, engineering, and other sciences. While engineers solve well-defined problems, applied physicists focus on applying physics interdisciplinarily. At ...
