You're sitting in physics class, working on a traditional problem involving forces and acceleration, when you start to wonder where these terms even came from. Were they just dreamed up to bring ...

The ultra smooth mirror was required to enable the researchers to perform experiments on electron acceleration in medium density gas jets, with the subsequent goal to ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new technique for accelerating electrons to very high energies over short distances. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research ...

Scientist have succeeded in characterizing the interface between an elastic-plastic material and a light material under acceleration. Arindam Banerjee, an associate professor of mechanical engineering ...

Engineers from Caltech have discovered that Leonardo da Vinci's understanding of gravity—though not wholly accurate—was centuries ahead of his time. In an article published in the journal Leonardo, ...
