Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...

Hints of a new fundamental interaction are starting to look less like statistical ghosts and more like a pattern that refuses ...

Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...

There may be a fifth fundamental force of the universe that we haven’t documented yet — and, according to new research, our best bet of uncovering it may not lie in deep space, but in objects ...

Question: How do you make a stand up paddle board go straight if you only paddle on one side? Of course, I'm not an expert paddler so my usual propulsion method means I paddle on one side then switch ...

This story is part of Short Wave's series Space Camp about all the weird, wonderful things happening in the universe. Check out the rest of the series. What does it take to launch into space? Other ...

One proposed way of examining if such a force could exist is by closely monitoring asteroid trajectories, and few near-Earth ...

In many people’s minds, the primary focus of physics is on the very large (black holes, the distant universe and the problems of cosmology) or the very small (the Higgs boson and the other subatomic ...
