The Work Energy Principle is one of the big ideas in introductory physics courses. It's so big that the textbook presentation can get a little confusing - but it doesn't have to be that way. I haven't ...

When you hear the word "Work" what is the first thing you think of? When you hear the word, "Work," what is the first thing you think of? Maybe sitting at a desk? Maybe plowing a field? Maybe working ...

Recently, I gave my introductory physics course a fairly standard problem, based on the Matter and Interactions textbook. I've modified the question, but it goes something like this: Here's a diagram ...

Albert Einstein proposed the most famous formula in physics in a 1905 paper on Special Relativity titled Does the inertia of an object depend upon its energy content? Essentially, the equation says ...

In the early hours of October 7, 2014, while most of America slumbered, members of the Swedish Academy of Sciences were meeting to decide to whom they should award the Nobel Prize in Physics. The ...

Quasicrystals, exotic states of matter characterized by an ordered structure with non-repeating spatial patterns, have been the focus of numerous recent physics studies due to their unique ...

Researchers from the Centre for Theoretical Physics, Jamia Millia Islamia, in India have combined data from baryon acoustic oscillations and supernovae to question our understanding of the nature of ...
