The New Scientist Book Club made a jump backwards through time for our latest read, Alex Foster’s Circular Motion, moving from the millennia-ahead future of Adam Roberts’s Lake of Darkness to a world ...

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 ...

An investigation on the effect of uniform tensile in-plane force on the radially symmetric vibratory characteristics of functionally graded circular plates of linearly varying thickness along radial ...

The drive was quiet. I put on the electronic music I liked but, feeling anxious, soon turned it off. I drove through to morning, along endless chain-link fences, escaping the Arctic Circle to find the ...

Starting from a rich body of evidence on the strict bidirectional relationship between numerical cognition and action processes, the present study aims at deepening the existing knowledge of the ...

Foster combines climate-change parable and science fiction in his exciting debut, in which Earth’s rotation gradually speeds up. Tanner Kelly, a 20-year-old looking to escape small-town Alaska, ...

Self-motion can facilitate perspective switches and “automatic spatial updating” and help reduce disorientation in applications like virtual reality (VR). However, providing physical motion through ...
