Tools can change not only how theorists calculate but also what they calculate about. But two decades ago, Ursula Klein, a scholar from the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin, ...

I have already indirectly talked about this before, but I see it more and more. Say you have a show. It has to be more than entertaining, it has to educational. How do you make things educational?

A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic ...

One of the physics blogs I read regularly is ZapperZ's Physics and Physicists, where last week he posted an interesting observation about the difference between subjects when it comes to modes of ...

The Science and Art of the Diagrams: Culturing Physics and Mathematics, Part 1As the culture of the diagram in science is magnificently wide in breadth and scope, for this post, I will concentrate on ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. Multiple forces act on an object at the same time. The size and direction of these forces determines the movement of the ...

To understand how to think about center of mass, we have to start with a few basics. In physics courses, we often treat objects as "point masses." A point mass has no dimensions. You can describe the ...

Diagrams, aka Sam Genders, has just shared a mind-bending new video for ‘I Tell Myself’. Directed by Ewan Jones-Morris –who’s behind similarly wacky videos from John Grant and Stealing Sheep – this ...

A team of computer scientists led by a University of Colorado Boulder professor has created an AI tool that can make static textbook images move on the page. CU Boulder professor Ryo Suzuki and his ...
