All of the sports at the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortino involve some physics in action. For figure skating, ski jumping and curling, two of the basic laws of the physics of motion are at play: ...
During the 2026 Winter Olympics, athletes will leap off ramps, slide across ice and spin through the air. These performances will look different to my students who have studied physics through sports.
You might have seen some of the viral videos of this giant steel slide at Belle Isle Park in Michigan, which temporarily closed this summer because riders were sliding so fast they were losing contact ...
The picture I’ve placed above is an interesting one. For those not in the know, it’s an image from the “MotoGP Lean Angle Experience.” Long story short, it allows regular punters like you and I to ...
There may be a fifth fundamental force of the universe that we haven’t documented yet — and, according to new research, our best bet of uncovering it may not lie in deep space, but in objects ...
A new study suggests subatomic particles called muons are breaking the laws of physics. This may mean a mysterious force is affecting muons, which would make our understanding of physics incomplete.
