Supercooled water may be a two-for-one deal. A long-standing theory holds that liquid water at temperatures well below freezing is composed of two different arrangements of molecules, one with high ...

Discover the physics behind the MythBusters rocket car experiment by breaking down how momentum changes during thrust and motion. This video explains impulse, force, and conservation of momentum in a ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Zero-point energy is one of the most intriguing phenomena of quantum mechanics. Because quantum particles are also waves, they must always have more than zero energy.

A team of neuroscientists at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona has found that the neurons in a mouse brain's vestibular nuclei control the signals that cause motion sickness. In their paper published ...

No one can question the impact of science on human civilization, and the importance of experimentation in science is equally undeniable. Some experiments confirm what we already know, others suggest a ...

Isaac Newton would never have discovered the laws of motion had he studied only cats. Suppose you hold a cat, stomach up, and drop it from a second-story window. If a cat is simply a mechanical system ...
