Back in the fall of 1989, I was a freshman at Williams College, and one Monday night that fall there was some sort of problem with the cable TV in our dorm, so a bunch of us went next door to watch ...

Researchers have carried out detailed molecular dynamics simulations to understand the motion of intriguingly ball-shaped C60 bucky balls on metal surfaces. The shape suggests several interesting ...

Model: This is some type of representation (conceptual, mathematical, physical, computational) of a real object. Example: a model of a bouncing ball would produce results that agree with a real ...

There are so many real-world physics problems involved in running. Lots of physicists have been inspired, for instance, by the crazy-fast speeds of Usain Bolt. Just take a look at this paper, "On the ...
