A simple toy is helping scientists understand new details of a mysterious quantum process. The rhythmic click-clacking of the metal balls in Newton’s cradle has long entertained physics students.

Newton’s Cradle was once upon a time, a popular desk toy in offices around the world. For [TecnoProfesor], however, it wasn’t quite flashy enough. Instead, they built a simulated version with ...

There’s a particularly old desk toy called the Newton’s cradle. If you don’t know the name, you’d still recognize the toy. It is some ball bearings suspended in midair on strings.

A quantum analogue of the popular “Newton’s cradle” toy has been proposed by a duo of physicists in Italy. Like momentum transferred in the toy, the team argues that it should be possible to achieve ...

With its suspended metallic spheres that clack back and forth, Newton's cradle is more than a popular desktop plaything. It has taught a generation of students about conservation of momentum and ...

Newton's cradle is a fabulous toy. In case you aren't familiar with this device, it usually consists of five hanging metal balls that all line up horizontally. If you pull back a ball on one end ...

You know about Newton's Cradle. Either you have seen it as an office desk toy, or as a physics demo. It goes: click, click, click, click. So let me show you how it works. What better way to show ...
