But the world is messier than a textbook. Scientists have sought to quantitatively describe the much more complex rolling physics of real-world objects. They have now combined theory, simulations ...

Researchers have detailed the physics behind a phenomenon that allows them to create spin in liquid droplets using ultrasound waves, which concentrates solid particles suspended in the liquid.

Optical tweezers were invented by the American physicist Arthur Ashkin, who shared the 2018 Nobel Prize for Physics for his role in their development. In these devices, a highly focused laser beam ...

The trajectories of objects often feature anomalies that can be useful in discovering new physics.” These are the words of Yu-Dai Tsai, first author of a recent paper published in Nature ...
