In this video, we break down the physics behind a tipping or sliding block! Learn how to calculate torque and friction to determine the exact moment when a block will tip or slide. Whether you're ...

The torque tube is a unique aspect of some Corvette models that help make the ride as smooth as possible. Here's how the ...

One of my students showed me this game, [Fantastic Contraption](http://fantasticcontraption.com/). The basic idea is to use a couple of different "machine" parts to ...

The 'spin-transfer torque effect' could provide a powerful means of controlling the orientation of spins with electric currents rather than magnetic fields in future spintronic devices. Quantitative ...

Tudor was lucky enough to be in Wales just as Sebastien Loeb was securing his 8th World Rally Championship title during Wales Rally GB 2011 and wrote a guest blog for ITV News covering the rally ...
