Birds in flocks, bacteria and cells: In many collective systems, individual elements respond to only part of their ...

The story of Isaac Newton's life. He discovered gravity, and the laws of motion that underpin much of modern physics. Yet he had dark secrets.

Keep on moving – or not! Explore Newton’s First Law of Motion! Dr. Rob and the Crew use bowling balls, beads, and bottles to investigate Sir Isaac Newton’s First Law of Motion: An object at rest stays ...

Newton's laws of motion are everywhere around you, explaining everything from why you feel pushed back in your seat when a car accelerates to how rockets blast off into space. These three simple ...

For hundreds of years, we have been told what Newton’s First Law of Motion supposedly says, but recently a paper published in Philosophy of Science (preprint) by [Daniel Hoek] argues that it is based ...

Engineers have developed a prototype metamaterial that uses electrical signals to control both the direction and intensity of energy waves passing through a solid material. Potential applications of ...

A Dresden physics team working with Roderich Moessner, a founding member of the Würzburg–Dresden Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat, has now developed a theory that makes it possible to describe these ...

The motion of galaxy clusters in the distant Universe has just yielded the largest-scale test yet of the laws of gravity.

Newton’s Law of Gravity just survived its biggest cosmic test. Scientists studied nearly 686,000 galaxies spread across 7 billion light-years. The result surprised even modern cosmologists. Gravity ...

Force equals mass times acceleration! Dr. Rob and the Crew put Newton's Second Law of Motion to the test with scooters, carts, bowling balls, and even a marshmallow catapult. From tug of war to ...
