Gravity is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives — whether we’re being tragically brought to our knees after tripping on the rug or gleefully jumping from a swing’s apex. But despite how common the ...

According to the model, dark matter may have started as particles that were hot, light, massless, and fast. As the universe ...

Using a high-powered electromagnet, Brown University physicists Karine Guevorkian and James Valles have created a topsy-turvy world for the single-celled paramecium. They have managed to increase, ...

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

Shini sits down to talk about how Newtonian Gravity is more than a little important. In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini sits down to talk about the realities of the apple story and how ...

What if the universe remembers? A bold new framework proposes that spacetime acts as a quantum memory. For over a hundred ...
