I love including numerical calculations in my introductory and advanced physics courses. I find that including coding in the introductory physics course forces students to think in different ways to ...

Why is pancake syrup an example of a resistive force? Some forces are called contact forces because they require objects to touch. One is tension force, found in stretched wires. Another is the force ...

Researchers at the University at Buffalo have enhanced a computationally efficient technique referred to as the truncated Wigner approximation (TWA), a type of physics shortcut that simplifies quantum ...

Bulging waves: artist’s impression of the gravitational waves given off by the merger of two supermassive black holes. ESA’s LISA space mission may be able to detect evidence of tidal distortions in ...

Quantum onion New calculations suggest that charmonium has a complicated layered structure that includes many virtual particles. (Courtesy: iStock/agsandrew) Calculations by physicists in China and ...
