A physics-based method for more precise L1 point calculations, exploring advanced techniques to improve accuracy in locating the Lagrange point where gravitational forces between the Earth and the Sun ...

I love python. I'm not ashamed to admit my feelings. One of the things I attempt to convey in my introductory physics courses is the notion that numerical calculations are cool. Of course, by ...

I love including numerical calculations in my introductory and advanced physics courses. I find that including coding in the introductory physics course forces students to think in different ways to ...

[This is a guest post by David L. Morgan, who is an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Eugene Lang College in Manhattan. -- JBJ] One of the first things I teach the students in my physics ...

Moving along with our top science apps (we first showed you the best iOS math apps), now it’s time to clear some of the mystery surrounding the great laws of physics. These have plagued students ...

Applying techniques derived from classical and quantum physics calculations may radically reduce the time it takes to simulate the way that proteins fold. Applying techniques derived from classical ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Jeanette Hurt covers the culture of spirits, wine and beer. Physicist Álvaro Díez likes solving everyday problems with physics, ...

For a large star, death is a bit of a squeeze. Once its nuclear fuel is spent, its core collapses, sparking a dramatic supernova explosion that blasts away the outer layers. The body left is a cold, ...

Two protons and a neutron A discrepancy between two different measurements of the charge radius of the helium-3 nucleus may have been reconciled. (Courtesy: Shutterstock) Independent measurements of ...
