Advances in linear motors and hybrid actuators are pushing motion systems toward higher precision, speed and efficiency. A ...

A water-powered nanogenerator uses droplet formation to convert flowing water into electricity, providing a clean, ...

Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC), a remarkable manifestation of quantum mechanics in systems with many particles, has over the past century reshaped our understanding of the fundamental phases of ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics attempts ...

Pressure is a measure of how concentrated a force is. The amount of pressure exerted on an object depends on the force applied and the surface area it is spread over. Force diagrams and resultant ...

It is not only moving objects that have varying speed. The speed of the wind and the speed of sound also vary. A typical value for the wind is about 12 m/s and the speed of sound in air is about 330 m ...

Simple physics may explain how the Easter Island statues could "walk" miles with only a handful of people, but the debate over their transport is far from over.
