Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

A recent study offers proof of feasibility for using cosmic radiation detectors to discover underground spaces. The detectors identify muons—particles created when cosmic radiation collides with Earth ...

When you shine a flashlight into a glass of water, the beam bends. That simple observation, familiar since ancient times, hides one of the oldest puzzles in physics: what really happens to the ...

Some things in cosmology may simply be unknowable. Why is there something rather than nothing? What lies outside the universe? What is inside a black hole? That last one has been niggling at ...

Using muon detectors, the team produced detailed images of underground features, including tunnels and cisterns, based on how soil absorbs cosmic radiation. A team of Israeli researchers has developed ...

Quantum technologies may seem very complex, but their importance is very simple – they can help solve difficult problems in medicine, energy ...

But Luis Jauregui’s work, which might power quantum computers needed for long-range space exploration, also shows how basic research is a smart investment.

Once upon a time, home computers were low-powered enough that they barely needed any cooling at all. An Amiga 500 didn’t even have a heatsink on the CPU, while the early Macintosh got by ...

Dan Houser, Rockstar Games co-founder and the writer behind the studio's biggest games, including the Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption series, has said Bully 2 didn't happen because of ...

Physicists have devised a new model to account for the discomfort that airline passengers know all too well.

Einstein’s uncle Jakob was an inventor in Munich. He produced patents for arc lamps, electric meters, and dynamos in the late 19th century. The young Albert grew up in this world of gadgets and wires, ...

Air gets thinner as it warms, and that matters the moment a jet leaves the runway. With less dense air under the wings, the plane generates less lift at a given speed, which slows its climb and ...
