There are quite a few fundamental constants. These are things like the speed of light (c) the charge on an electron (e), and the Planck constant (h). These constants are determined with some type of ...

Most of us take gravity as an assumed part of our living realities, but why? Most of us take gravity as an assumed part of our living realities, but why? Basic physics introduces us to the concept of ...

Potential energy is stored energy. Potential energy is the energy that exists by virtue of the relative positions (configurations) of the objects within a physical system. This form of energy has the ...

Using a high-powered electromagnet, Brown University physicists Karine Guevorkian and James Valles have created a topsy-turvy world for the single-celled paramecium. They have managed to increase, ...

In the last episode of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey (which you can watch online), the show was trying to make a case for dark matter. Here is what Neil DeGrasse Tyson said about orbiting objects. "In ...

The ATLAS collaboration recently measured the strength of the strong force to a record level of precision, but there’s still a long way to go toward understanding this fundamental force. In September, ...

Zero Gravity is an emitter-type quirk, as Uraraka can use her gravity power to take control of her surroundings. But before ...
