Using robotic fins, researchers at the University of California, Riverside have learned how stingrays are able to swim with ...

Researchers successfully developed a robotic model that spontaneously generates tunable and accurate run-and-tumble dynamics, ...

Learn how to analyze motion graphs in physics, including position-time and velocity-time graphs. This video explains slopes, areas, and motion behavior to help you clearly interpret real physics ...

From the Earth’s hidden turbulent currents to the delicate vortices shimmering around a fly’s beating wings, Xuehao Zang sees motion as nature’s most expressive system — one that governs how life ...

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 ...

This is where Emmy Noether, a groundbreaking German mathematician, comes into the picture. She found a breathtakingly simple ...

A team of researchers has developed the first transmission electron microscope which operates at the temporal resolution of a single attosecond, allowing for the first still-image of an electron in ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

How do skateboarders seemingly defy gravity? How do gymnasts flip in the air? They have skill — and, as a Times interactive explored, an understanding of the laws of motion, physics and energy. By ...
