Physics

Mechanics is a branch of physics which deals with forces, mass and motion with applications in engineering construction, the design of machines, ballistics and space travel.

Time is not a material thing. You can’t handle it and move it around as you can with any object at your disposal. It just slips away. So, is it an illusion?

Water has some properties that can make it a good refrigerant. It also possesses some undesirable properties that makes its application as a refrigerant very challenging and inefficient to implement.

Students have an excellent chance of doing well on a physics exam if they work efficiently throughout the physics course and follow some tips for writing exams.

Everyone has heard of the Big Bang Theory, but what about possible alternatives? Read on to learn more.

With billions of galaxies in the universe, there is a vast potential for Earth-like planets with intelligent life. But here are the reasons why we may never find it.

Making enough electricity for our needs is getting tricky. What alternative methods are there?

Ballistics is a branch of mechanics which deals with the motion of projectiles launched into the air or space. Solving these type of problems involves using Newton's equations of motion

Dark matter and dark energy are still huge mysteries in astrophysics. Alternate theories exist to help explain them.

Yes, it's a film title, but terminal velocity is also the maximum velocity reached by an object as it falls through a fluid. This article explains how it works.

Here we look at some hidden forces and their consequences in astronomy.

While it may ultimately prove to be wrong, scientists know of several ways to test for string theory using many conventions of physics.

Another day, another particle physics mystery to unwrap. Let's see what beauty hadrons reveal about the Universe!
