This post has been sitting in my mind for quite some time. Really, it is about mechanics - not about pendulums. What is the goal in mechanics (classical mechanics, if you like)? Generally, it is to ...

Quantum mechanics and classical physics don’t always get along, and can sometimes form apparent paradoxes where observed quantum behavior violates well-established physical laws. In quantum mechanics, ...

In 1925, a young German physicist fled to the treeless island of Helgoland in the North Sea to ease a severe bout of hay fever. With nothing but daily walks and long swims to distract him, 23-year-old ...

This physics course provides foundational knowledge for study in engineering, food technology, and physical sciences. The emphasis is on applying physical principles to problem solving in mechanics, ...

Time's arrow: Researchers in Germany and the Netherlands have explored the relationship between thermodynamics (represented by the smashing glass) and quantum mechanics in a photonic quantum processor ...

A trio of professors in the U.S. won the Nobel Prize in physics for work that enabled the creation of macroscopic quantum systems, a foundation of quantum computers and other technology. John Clarke, ...
