For over a decade, confusion over the size of the proton has held scientists back. Disagreeing measurements of the subatomic particle’s radius meant that scientists couldn’t test one of their key ...

Unlock the secrets of pendulum motion with this comprehensive physics guide on deriving the pendulum period. In this video, we walk you through the step-by-step derivation of the formula for a simple ...

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 ...

Physicists spotted a “terribly exciting” new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and debated the meaning of quantum mechanics. It in no way reflects my feelings toward Quanta staff ...

Simple physics may explain how the Easter Island statues could "walk" miles with only a handful of people, but the debate over their transport is far from over. When you purchase through links on our ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis were recognized for work that made behaviors of the subatomic realm observable at a larger scale. By Katrina Miller and Ali Watkins John Clarke, ...

The uncertainty of this moment is disorienting—like the early days of the pandemic when everything shifted overnight, and no one knew what to do next. It can feel like everything is unraveling. People ...

Emmy Noether showed that fundamental physical laws are just a consequence of simple symmetries. A century later, her insights continue to shape physics. In the fall of 1915, the foundations of physics ...

Supply chains have had a tumultuous few years, beginning in 2020, when COVID-19 upended legacy global supply chains. More recently, the “TikTok-ification” of retail has companies like Shein and Temu ...

The Hubble tension is one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology. It centers around the Hubble constant—the measurement of how fast our universe is expanding—which comes out as two different numbers ...

Terrifying video has been released showing the moment two gondola cars detached from a high-flying amusement park ride and crashed, leaving ten people injured, including six critically. It happened ...
