Can we create artificial gravity, or is it still science fiction? In this video, we break the problem down using real physics ...

Researchers have demonstrated that laser light traveling along a helical path through space, can accelerate and decelerate as it spins into the distance.This is the first time that angular ...

Consider the rotor of a gyroscope. The rotor is attached to a frame that is rotating about a fixed vertical axes with a constant rate of ω 1, and with the rotor rotating relative to that frame at a ...

If the angular velocity of a link in a mechanism is zero, does this imply that the angular acceleration of that link is also zero? The short answer to that question is NO. If ω(t) represents the ...

Have you ever thought about what happens when you snap your fingers? Raghav Acharya, Elio Challita, Mark Ilton and Saad Bhamla have looked deeply into the physics of the finger snap and published a ...

We’re all familiar with the magic of the Olympic games. Once every four years, the entire family sits down together to watch a selection of sports that many of us are not routinely exposed to. As a ...
