Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...

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 ...

PITTSBURGH — The Carnegie Science Center has opened a new motion lab that will allow athletes and sports lovers to better review their movements and improve them through science. The motion lab will ...

A team of researchers has developed the first transmission electron microscope which operates at the temporal resolution of a single attosecond, allowing for the first still-image of an electron in ...

Physicist Sean Carroll takes on black holes, Schrödinger’s cat, and other big physics concepts that had our audience wondering.

How would you choreograph the heft of the Higgs boson, the plight of an endangered species, or the battle between the body and tumors? Last year, the American Association for the Advancement of ...

A giant underground motion sensor in Germany has taken its first measurements of Earth’s spin and tilt. Although researchers are still getting the machine’s accuracy up to snuff, their observations ...

Every time you charge your phone or unplug an electric car, the battery’s internal parts subtly expand and contract. Over thousands of cycles, that motion adds up. According to new research, this ...

This article was originally featured on Knowable Magazine. 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 ...

Fidget spinners ― kids spin them and spin them ― and while parents may not "get" why the boomerang-shaped toys have caught on with such force, there's real physics to explain how the distracting ...
