For decades, physicists have argued about Feynman’s Sprinkler Problem, the question of how a reverse sprinkler would operate.

Physicists have debated which way a submerged sprinkler sucking in water would spin. Careful experiments provide an answer.

The 'three-body problem,' the term coined for predicting the motion of three gravitating bodies in space, is essential for understanding a variety of astrophysical processes as well as a large class ...

WASHINGTON, November 24, 2021 -- Many introductory physics courses present students with a theoretical scenario for an assignment. If an automobile is moving at a steady speed over a hill in the shape ...

Black physicists say efforts to recruit and retain more Black students must concentrate on challenges they face at both Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Primarily White Institutions.

As a physics major, it feels like I spend the majority of my waking life solving problems. I’ve calculated the amount of water you get from mixing different ratios of steam and ice, the path of ...
