Sometimes to truly study something up close, you have to take a step back. That's what Andrea Donnellan does. An expert in ...
Flux physics refers to continuous change in physical quantities, including energy transfer and dynamic equilibria. Flux is ...
A team of New York University scientists has created a gear mechanism that relies on fluids to generate rotation. The ...
Ancient civilizations moved stones weighing hundreds of tons without cranes, pulleys, or modern machines. One theory? They used sound. And shockingly, science now shows acoustic levitation is real — ...
A simulation engine is a powerful tool that provides realistic approximations of physical systems. With maple-sim, we integrate the open-source Java rigid-body dynamics engine, dyn4j, capable of ...
Abstract: Traffic state estimation (TSE) bifurcates into two main categories, model-driven and data-driven (e.g., machine learning, ML) approaches, while each suffers from either deficient physics or ...
A hands-on physics experiment demonstrates how a basic self-braking pulley works, explaining the forces and friction that allow it to stop itself without extra mechanisms. What happened with the 14th ...
Authorities have intensified their search for clues after a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was fatally shot at his home near Boston. Nuno F Gomes Loureiro, 47, a nuclear ...
Physicists spotted a “terribly exciting” new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and debated the meaning of quantum mechanics. It in no way reflects my feelings toward Quanta staff ...
