What do large crowds of people and water have in common? They both act like fluids. A clear example of the fluid dynamics at play in crowds is the masses at the San Fermín Festival in Pamplona, Spain.

Check the rationalized list of specific topics removed from NCERT Physics, including the cyclotron, logic gates, and detailed ...

It's baseball season! And when we here at Short Wave think of baseball, we naturally think of physics. To get the inside scoop on the physics of baseball, like how to hit a home run, we talk to ...

Does light behave more like a particle, or like a wave? Today we know the surprising answer. Here's why it took so long to get there. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Three U.S. physicists won the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for their work that led to the detection of gravitational waves — the ripples in space-time made when black holes collide and when other ...

An experiment 180 years ago first demonstrated a connection between light and electromagnetism – but the link is deeper than ...

A new set of computer simulations may finally explain several long-standing mysteries surrounding gigantic radio "relics" ...

Above is a video by the physicist, YouTuber and quantum cartographer Dominic Walliman, who describes a map of quantum physics that he has created. The map introduces quantum mechanics by providing ...

The northern lights arise when electrons from space cascade into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with oxygen and nitrogen molecules to paint the sky red and green (SN: 2/7/20). But it has ...

In October 2024 the network detected a clear signal that pointed back to a merger that occurred 700 million light-years away. The progenitor black holes were 20 and 6 solar masses and the larger ...

Based on these initial findings, the team further developed extremely high-resolution simulations called "shock-tubes." ...
