Keep on moving – or not! Explore Newton’s First Law of Motion! Dr. Rob and the Crew use bowling balls, beads, and bottles to investigate Sir Isaac Newton’s First Law of Motion: An object at rest stays ...

Human sperm cells and some microorganisms swim by deforming their bodies in a way that breaks Newton’s third law of motion – and we’re closer to understanding how they do it. The findings could ...

An experiment with light shows that one of the fundamental laws of motion may not always hold in the quantum realm. Much of our understanding of how objects like tennis balls or bicycles move stems ...

I had hoped in this column to draw comparisons between physics and politics. I remembered a 1970s physics professor at Kansas ...

For hundreds of years, we have been told what Newton’s First Law of Motion supposedly says, but recently a paper published in Philosophy of Science (preprint) by [Daniel Hoek] argues that it is based ...

Scientists have created a new kind of time crystal using sound waves to levitate tiny beads in mid-air. These particles interact in a one-sided, unbalanced way, breaking the usual rules of motion and ...

Force equals mass times acceleration! Dr. Rob and the Crew put Newton's Second Law of Motion to the test with scooters, carts, bowling balls, and even a marshmallow catapult. From tug of war to ...
