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 ...

Physics experiments have changed the world irrevocably, altering our reality and enabling us to take gigantic leaps in technology. From ancient times to now, here's a look at some of the greatest ...

Scientists often make measurements. The physical quantities they measure fall into two categories: scalars and vectors. Scalar and vector quantities are treated differently in calculations. Motion - ...

With just a flick of the wrist, a spinning top balances on its tiny tip, seemingly defying gravity. This dance of physics introduces us to the concept of angular momentum, a force that keeps it ...

My journey with motion capture technology is a personal one. A nasty anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) snap as a teenager, and the subsequent knee surgery and rehabilitation programme, introduced me to ...

Ripples in the fabric of space-time could reveal how the universe was created nearly 14 billion years ago. But finding these ripples, known as 'gravitational waves', has so far proved elusive. Now, US ...

ISS microgravity experiments reveal how particles cluster, helping science on Earth and future space missions.

How do skateboarders seemingly defy gravity? How do gymnasts flip in the air? They have skill — and, as a Times interactive explored, an understanding of the laws of motion, physics and energy. By ...
