Kinetic energy has to do with the motion of an object—the faster it’s moving, the more kinetic energy it has. If you take a ball and drop it, it will accelerate downward, which means its kinetic ...

Steven Warth had been reading about fusion energy for years when he walked into his modern physics class at Austin Peay State University.

In January I wrote a piece titled “ 5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know .” Lots of you weighed in with your own ...

A research team from Penn State has broken a 165-year-old law of thermal radiation with unprecedented strength, setting the stage for more efficient energy harvesting, heat transfer and infrared ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics honours John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis for revealing quantum phenomena in everyday circuits. Their experiments demonstrated quantum tunnelling and ...
