A recent study conducted at Tel Aviv University has devised a large mechanical system that operates under dynamical rules akin to those found in quantum systems. The dynamics of quantum systems, ...
Last week over in Twitter-land, Philip Ball asked an interesting question: I’ve written a fair bit about historical science, and read more than I’ve written, so this question stuck with me, and seems ...
PROF. GREENHILL gives currency to quite an erroneous idea, in last week's NATURE (p. 50). He says “in the Foucault experiment of the pendulum which shows the rotation of the earth, the slightest ...

Easter Island statues may have 'walked' thanks to 'pendulum dynamics' and with as few as 15 people, study finds
Simple physics may explain how the Easter Island statues could "walk" miles with only a handful of people, but the debate over their transport is far from over.
What's nerdier than creating an online avatar that fights dragons and raids strongholds? Creating a virtual pendulum that you can sync up to your real-life pendulum. Leave it to physicists to do just ...
The advent of smartphone technology has revolutionised physics education by transforming everyday devices into versatile and accessible scientific instruments. These experiments utilise the embedded ...
