Torque isn’t just for mechanics — it’s a key player in physics, engineering, and even everyday life. From balancing a seesaw to tightening a bolt, understanding torque helps you control stability and ...

The bacterial flagellar motor is finally understood after 50 years. In its workings, columnist Natalie Wolchover finds the ...

The Martin A. Fisher School of Physics enjoys an international reputation for excellence in research, and is one of the highest-ranked of its size in the country. The department offers rigorous ...

Light does more than illuminate the world—it can also push and twist matter. It was back in the 1870s that James Clerk Maxwell first predicted that light carries momentum and can exert pressure on ...

Space physics is the study of the natural phenomenon that occur in our solar system. Specifically, the sun, the particles and radiation it creates and how these affect the planets. This includes the ...

Artificial crystals of light, consisting of hundreds of thousands of optical microtraps, are routinely created by interfering optical laser beams. These so-called optical lattices act as versatile ...

May 1, 2026 • Ask any coffee aficionado, and they’ll tell you: A good cup is about more than the beans. The flavor is affected by lots of things – the roast and fermentation of the beans, the ...

Abstract: In safety-critical control for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs), the overshoot after adding a spontaneous load is a crucial metric, leading to the unexpected motion of driving ...

Abstract: The spin-transfer torque magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) technology may pave a way to a universal memory paradigm. MTJ devices with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy have the potential to ...

If you are in Year 12 and are interested in studying physics or a related subject at degree level, then you are invited to apply for our free programme of online physics tutorials called Levelling Up ...

This repository contains a collection of useful Paraview skills for scientific visualization that I've developed and condensed into one place. I've used the default MacOS keyboard shortcuts in this ...

At Ohio University we offer two distinct honors experiences – the Honors Tutorial College (HTC) and the OHIO Honors Program (OHP) – both designed to invite curiosity, encourage collaboration and ...
