Veritasium and Adam Savage team up to show off the physics of falling objects. First question: will a penny thrown from the Empire State Building kill you?

Gravity doesn’t discriminate. An experiment in orbit has confirmed, with precision a hundred times greater than previous efforts, that everything falls the same way under the influence of gravity. The ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., October 11, 2016 -- By carefully observing scenes as simple as leaves falling from trees or dandelion seeds blowing in the wind, we can see diverse "falling styles" that include ...

It’s been demonstrated since the 1500s that, when falling toward a certain body, objects fall at the same rate. Everyone from Galileo in Pisa to David Scott on the moon demonstrated that. But what if ...

If you want to build a rocket with a bold new design, you have to have a way to test its structural integrity without installing an engine. You don’t have a wind tunnel, but you’re not ready to ...

A team of EPFL researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account the laws of physics—using Newton's third law. Their research is published ...

James Clerk Maxwell conducted some of the first documented studies of free-falling objects during the mid-1800s, when the physicist analyzed the tumbling motion of a freely falling plate. But much ...
