The text is now best known for introducing “Pascal’s Law” or “Principle,” that any change of pressure in an enclosed incompressible fluid (like water) is transmitted equally to all points within the ...

How assorted objects behave under hydraulic pressure shows varied material responses. Who is Nick Reiner? About Rob Reiner's ...

Superconductors promise loss-free electricity, but most only work at extreme cold. Hydrogen-rich materials changed that—yet their inner workings remained hidden because they only exist under enormous ...

Scientists find that pure mathematical formulae used to calculate the value of pi 100 years ago has connections to fundamental physics of today – showing up in theoretical models of percolation, ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

In this video, we’re solving the physics problem of finding the equilibrium of a penguin on a plank! 🐧⚖️ We’ll walk through how to calculate the forces acting on the plank and the penguin, and ...

The story seems almost too perfect, and has probably been exaggerated for effect, but it’s delightful even without those bits ...

For years, rumors swirled about where his wealth came from. A Times investigation reveals the truth of how a college dropout ...
