Miniscule, invisible neutrino particles are ubiquitous but nearly impossible to catch. They fly though the Earth—and us—every moment, by the billions. They are the smallest known matter particles in ...

A Vermont research team has cracked a 90-year-old puzzle, creating a quantum version of the damped harmonic oscillator. By reformulating Lamb’s classical model, they showed how atomic vibrations can ...

This is a classic introductory physics problem. Basically, you have a cart on a frictionless track (call this m 1) with a string that runs over a pulley to another mass hanging below (call this m 2).

No measurement can be simpler than the counting of ticks, making frequency — and hence time — the most accurately measurable quantity. To establish a reference tick rate, people have always been ...

Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...
