A new children’s book, titled Simple Machines Made Simple, wants to demystify mechanical engineering for kids as young as a year old. It recently beat its Kickstarter goal by 700%—raising more than ...

More than 700,000 GCSE physics students could be without a specialist teacher, a report has warned. The Institute of Physics (IOP) has called for urgent action to tackle the shortage in physics ...

Qian Sijin signs a copy of his new book What Is the Nature of the Material World. [Photo provided to China Daily] At 74, Qian Sijin still walks the long corridors of the European Organization for ...

Written in clear, engaging language, the book traces the arc from ancient Greek atomic theory to today's Standard Model of particle physics. It's part physics textbook, part history of science, and ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story. A new paper uses a simplified model to prove that gravity can be unified between quantum and standard physics. The simpler model still meets the established ...

Researchers unlock the mystery of bound states in the continuum using compact mechanical systems. A joint research team from POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) and Jeonbuk National ...

Discusses the principles of levers, a type of simple machine that helps lift heavy loads by changing the direction or magnitude of force applied. It explains how the position of the fulcrum affects ...

The aim of this paper is to give a self-reflective account of the building of Galileo's pendulum in order to discover what were the practical contingencies of building and using the pendulum for ...

On Thursday, a large group of university and private industry researchers unveiled Genesis, a new open source computer simulation system that lets robots practice tasks in simulated reality 430,000 ...
