Scientists have discovered that under the right conditions, a gummy bear-like ball can roll down a vertical wall all by itself—upending a core assumption in physics.

There is another class of bad physics—and this one is actually bad in real life. Suppose I'm not really trying to tell a story in some way. Instead, I'm trying to show you some cool science.

We were also in agreement on two other points. First, that there are not enough top politicians with science backgrounds, and second, that a government made up entirely of scientists would more than ...

The underlying physics is pretty cool, too. It’s much the same as for regular skydiving . It all comes down to two forces: gravity pulling you down, and friction from air resistance pushing you up.

Various large-scale astrophysical research projects are set to take place over the next decade, several of which are so-called cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. These are large-scale ...

Physics is becoming more popular among A-level and university students in the UK because ‘The Big Bang Theory’ has made it cool again.

And now, we can say that this strange effect is much more ubiquitous than we previously expected as the Trinity QuSys team, led by Prof. John Goold from the School of Physics, has just published a ...
