In this last part of our series on recently digitized books from the Wenner Collection, we are focusing on works that ...
An introduction to Coulomb’s Law and electric fields explained in a clear and simple way. Learn how electric charges interact, how force depends on distance, and how electric fields describe these ...
Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world. This is how countless films and stories describe it, but scientists have always ...
Physicists spotted a “terribly exciting” new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and debated the meaning of quantum mechanics. It in no way reflects my feelings toward Quanta staff ...
On October 8, 2024, the field of physics was plunged into controversy. That day, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for discoveries not involving black holes, cosmology, or strange new subatomic ...
If you want to explain what was and what is, you need particle physics. Because everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, and atoms in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic ...
