Why is pancake syrup an example of a resistive force? Some forces are called contact forces because they require objects to touch. One is tension force, found in stretched wires. Another is the force ...

Students will apply their knowledge of physical science concepts to create a lunar lander game using Scratch. They will use Vernier force and acceleration sensors to understand forces and integrate ...

Water trapped inside tiny molecular cavities behaves in a surprisingly energetic way, pushing outward like people crammed in ...

There are many situations in which it's important to know how much force one object is applying to another item. A small, thin sticker has been designed to measure and relay such data, without ...

THE U.S. Air Force is many things: young men in airplanes, bases scattered around the earth, schools and radars and stocks of bombs. But it is also an army of scientific pioneers who push out the ...

“I am one with the Force, the Force is with me.” In an hour, we will take on some of the science behind the movies – experimenting with forces and motion, using angles of incidence and refraction to ...

Using a groundbreaking new technique at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an international collaboration led by NIST researchers has revealed previously unrecognized ...
