A ball tossed into the air follows a path that classical physics can track with confidence. Shrink that ball down to the size ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it ...

The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in the planetary atmosphere. This phenomenon is governed by the Navier-Stokes ...

Maxwell's Equations tell us a lot about electromagnetic interactions and physics. In the mid-1800s, Scottish physicist James Maxwell thought something interesting was going on with electric fields. So ...

Lowry Kirkby reviews The Theoretical Minimum: What You Need to Know to Start Doing Physics by Leonard Susskind and George Hrabovsky Thirst for physics: Leonard Susskind's popular series of lectures ...

Frank Merle is used to confronting a messy world. A linear equation is something like y = 2x, which states that the value of ...

In 1997, Brazilian soccer player Roberto Carlos scored on a free kick that first went right, then curved sharply to the left in what looked like a physics-defying fluke. We've finally discovered the ...
