Even when temperatures drop below zero degrees Fahrenheit in the frigid Antarctic, emperor penguins can stay toasty warm. The ...

Dive into the world of motion by exploring the similarities and differences between linear and rotational kinematics. In this video, we break down key concepts, equations, and relationships that ...

A team at New York University has discovered a new form of time crystal that hovers using sound waves. Unlike ordinary matter, these crystals seem to behave in ways that don’t align with Newton’s ...

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 ...

All of the sports at the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortino involve some physics in action. For figure skating, ski jumping and curling, two of the basic laws of the physics of motion are at play: ...

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 ...

How would you choreograph the heft of the Higgs boson, the plight of an endangered species, or the battle between the body and tumors? Last year, the American Association for the Advancement 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 ...
