Physicists are fascinated with heady puzzles, from the nature of space and time to how the universe came to be. But spinning lawn sprinklers? Yes, that too. A new experiment provides an answer to a ...

For years, the Prairie Pothole Region has bothered me in a very specific way. On a map, it looks like a normal landscape: ...

Prepare to be amazed by unbelievable water physics that you have to see to believe! In this video, I’ll showcase jaw-dropping water simulations and experiments that reveal the fascinating science ...

There is a connection between physics and flamingos. It's all about the unusual way they feed. They stomp their large feet, they dip their heads upside down, eyes first into the water. They also open ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Once upon a time, long ago, the world was encased in ice. That’s the tale told by sedimentary rock in the tropics, many geologists ...

Water droplets have a unique ability: They can leap from a surface on their own. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as when a surface repels water or when heat is involved, such as a water ...

The study of water and ice through the lens of chemical physics continues to elucidate the intricate interplay of hydrogen‐bond dynamics and molecular interactions that govern their anomalous ...

The popular image of science is not about objects in front of us but about galaxies far, far away and seeming miracles—sometimes destructive, sometimes not—here on Earth. Please continue to look to ...
