Python physics explained: tides and their mathematical model. Learn how tidal forces work and how to model them step-by-step in Python using clean math, simple assumptions, and clear visual intuition.

Occurring on only a few dozen rivers around the world, tidal bores are as rare as they are intriguing. Michael Berry outlines the science behind this natural phenomenon and describes his sighting in ...

Bulging waves: artist’s impression of the gravitational waves given off by the merger of two supermassive black holes. ESA’s LISA space mission may be able to detect evidence of tidal distortions in ...

A new cosmic crime scene reconstruction tells the full story of a star ripped apart by a ravenous black hole, revealing a previously unknown aspect of these tidal disruption events. When you purchase ...

Seismological research is directly related to the incubation, occurrence, and evolution of earthquakes. Scientists seek to reveal potential earthquake precursors by monitoring the stress state of ...

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star ventures too close to a supermassive black hole and is gravitationally torn apart by tidal forces. The resulting stellar debris forms an accretion disc ...

Tidal forces and radiation bombardment can cause some planetary atmospheres to leak into space. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A ...
