Learn the fundamentals of physics with this Understanding Rotational Motion and Kinematics Beginner Physics Guide—a clear and easy introduction to how objects rotate and move in circular paths. This ...

Phonons are the collective vibrations that move through a solid. They can be thought of as waves traveling across the atomic ...

A new giant long-necked dinosaur, Dasosaurus tocantinensis, unearthed in Brazil, reveals ancient land connections. Its close evolutionary ties to a Spanish species suggest dinosaurs migrated between ...

For more than a century, scientists have been trying to figure out how a falling cat lands on its feet with such astonishing ...

But falling cats – they seem to manage [it].” That feline talent of twisting round in mid-air isn’t just a neat survival ...

NASA’s DART mission proved that a spacecraft can nudge an asteroid system in space, offering a real test of planetary defense. NASA’s DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft changed the ...

For hundreds of years, scientists have struggled to solve one of life's most enduring mysteries: How do cats always land on ...

Researchers used high-speed cameras and motion tracking to show the air-righting reflex relies on spine flexion, front and rear body rotation, and tail adjustments that conserve zero angular momentum ...

A wafer-thin flake of bismuth telluride can act a little like a one-way street for electricity, even when the push comes from an alternating signal. But the direction of that “street” is not fixed.

The Milky Way’s centre looks nothing like the calm band of starlight you see from a dark hillside. In a new, ultra-wide radio mosaic, the region turns into a tangle of cold, threadlike gas structures.

As drone threats push detection ranges outward, C-UAS performance is increasingly decided at the limits of visibility—where ...

A new momentum microscope at Forschungszentrum Jülich makes electrons and their properties in solids visible. The instrument, developed entirely in Jülich, provides unprecedentedly insights into ...
