Supercooled water may be a two-for-one deal. A long-standing theory holds that liquid water at temperatures well below freezing is composed of two different arrangements of molecules, one with high ...

Physical-collapse theories have long offered a natural solution to the central mystery of the quantum world. But a series of increasingly precise experiments are making them untenable. How does ...

How do skateboarders seemingly defy gravity? How do gymnasts flip in the air? They have skill — and, as a Times interactive explored, an understanding of the laws of motion, physics and energy. By ...

Step into the hidden science lab in your kitchen with five easy experiments that explain refraction, surface tension, ...

Isaac Newton would never have discovered the laws of motion had he studied only cats. Suppose you hold a cat, stomach up, and drop it from a second-story window. If a cat is simply a mechanical system ...

Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...
