Human sperm cells and some microorganisms swim by deforming their bodies in a way that breaks Newton’s third law of motion – and we’re closer to understanding how they do it. The findings could ...

Starting with Newton’s first law of motion, we delve into how objects behave when they are at rest or in uniform motion. The second law unravels the relationship between mass, acceleration and ...

Since 1687, Sir Isaac Newton’s three laws of motion, as published in his work “Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy,” have guided our understanding of the relationships between physical ...
