In a research project that has real implications for their regular laboratory work, a pair of physicists at Brown University ...

The team’s theoretical calculations were largely supported by the results, and showed it’s all about the viscosity. Water reached the 90 percent mark in only a few seconds. Meanwhile, cold maple syrup ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — After a decade of preparation and two years of active experiments in space, a facility that Purdue University and NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland designed, built and ...

Discover three captivating science experiments that bring physics concepts to life! Watch as a water balloon burst in slow motion reveals the power of surface tension in fluids, followed by a ...

Scientific discovery doesn't always require a high-tech laboratory or a hefty budget. Many people have a first-rate lab right in their own homes—their kitchen. The kitchen offers plenty of ...

Purdue University researchers are designing and building an experiment that will operate during a test flight of a new type of reusable rocket to be launched by aerospace company Blue Origin LLC. The ...

Physics is often about recognizing patterns, sometimes repeated across vastly different scales. For instance, moons orbit planets in the same way planets orbit stars, which in turn orbit the center of ...
