In this video, we break down the physics behind clay pendulum balls and their collisions. Learn about momentum, energy transfer, and how these simple systems can explain key concepts in ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

What seemed like new planets around Fomalhaut were actually expanding dust clouds from violent planetary collisions seen by Hubble.

Mathematicians and physicists have noticed a strange coincidence occurring between their respective fields: the values computed from particle physics experiments seem to correspond with a specific set ...

Heavy collisions Artist’s impression charged particle tracks streaming from a collision of two uranium nuclei overlaid on a sketch of the STAR detector at RHIC. The incoming uranium nuclei are shown ...

The Large Hadron Collider has smashed protons together for the first time since early 2013. The low-energy collisions, part of preparations for the next round of experiments, began on Tuesday morning.

Laser cooling and trapping allow physicists to map the dynamics of every ion-atom encounter in a collision experiment. For many years atomic-collision experiments basically involved measuring the ...

It's impossible to talk about football these days without talking about the problem of big hits. The giant dramatic collisions between players moving at high speed are at once one of the great ...
