Explore a collection of fascinating science experiments that reveal the hidden world of magnetism and slow-motion physics.

The motion of snakes has long fascinated humans: they undulate, they sidewind, they crawl, they even fly. Together with herpetologists, researchers in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering ...

Pack enough string-like objects together, and they will begin to align with one another. But replace the strings with worms ...

We speak to some of the people who are crafting bold instruments and effects processors inspired by the fundamental laws of ...

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 ...

Time feels familiar. It marks every moment of daily life, from the ticking of a wall clock to the changing numbers on a ...

This article was originally featured on Knowable Magazine. 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 ...

Find out more about Sir Isaac Newton’s laws of force and motion at the amusement park, Silverwood. A force is basically a push or a pull. Forces like gravity, inertia, and momentum affect everything.

Researchers have developed a new way to visualize how ancient animals moved as they roamed the Earth — starting with a Yale-discovered dinosaur’s sickle-clawed foot. The new approach, which uses ...

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, ...
