Classical Mechanics:** Newton’s second law (F = ma) explains the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The law ...

If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...

It is a matter for celebration when two illustrious theoreticians such as Kip Thorne and Roger Blandford provide an in-depth description of the fundamentals of classical physics. Modern Classical ...

With simple arguments, researchers show that nature is complicated! Researchers have made a simple experiment that demonstrates that nature violates common sense. The experiment illustrates that light ...

Physicists at Stevens Institute of Technology used Christiaan Huygens' 350-year-old theorem, which explains the workings of pendulums and planets, to reveal new properties of light waves. (Courtesy: ...

Out with the old: Many undergraduate physics curricula need revamping. (Courtesy: iStock/Pobytov) Physics education has a high inertia towards change. While high-school students in today’s biology ...

With an applied physics: mechanics degree, you’ll combine physics principles with the design experience of mechanical engineering as you prepare for graduate school or industry work. Become who you’re ...
