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 ...

In January I wrote a piece titled “ 5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know .” Lots of you weighed in with your own nominations, and there were plenty of good suggestions. So I’ve decided to do a ...

In storm clouds, ice does more than just float or fall—it might actually help generate electricity. A new study in Nature Physics finds that when ordinary ice is bent, it can produce an electric ...

Ice generates electricity as a response to stress when it bends. Experiments with pure and saline ice found that with enough salt, that electrical charge becomes exponentially greater. Not only is all ...

Vacuum tunnelling – an exotic process by which empty space can become temporarily filled with virtual particles when an extremely strong electric or magnetic field is applied to it – has never been ...

Can ice generate electricity? It’s not as far-fetched as you may think. Learn about the new research that “brings the vision of harnessing ice power one step closer to reality.” ...

Excitons, bound states between an electron (i.e., a negatively charged particle) and a hole (i.e., the absence of an electron) in materials, are a key focus of condensed matter physics studies. These ...

Discover the physics behind stamps sticking to envelopes, from fundamental forces to Van der Waals interactions, explained concisely.
