Imagine you want to study what happens when an object accelerates. Oh, this is way before any of that internet stuff—also, no computers or electronics. In fact, let's say it's the year 1780. What do ...

In a fixed-field alternating-gradient (FFAG) accelerator, eliminating pulsed magnet operation permits rapid acceleration to synchrotron energies, but with a much higher beam-pulse repetition rate.

On April 30, 2026, scientists worldwide reported major advances in particle acceleration, from space-based cosmic ray ...

At the launch of their Radeon X1000-series of graphics products, ATI made plenty of noise about their new graphics hardware being suited to processing more than just graphics, touting their new ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study suggests this mysterious ingredient may not be necessary after all. Using an ...

Newton's Second Law states that force equals mass times acceleration. This can be investigated using a set-up like this one. You can use this set-up to investigate how changing two separate factors, ...

It's impossible to talk about football these days without talking about the problem of big hits. The giant dramatic collisions between players moving at high speed are at once one of the great ...
