To non-pilots, landing an aircraft in a crosswind looks all but impossible. When the wind is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the plane, the plane has to aim in one direction—its wheels not ...

Shini Somara introduces us to the ideas of motion in a straight line. In this, THE FIRST EPISODE of Crash Course Physics, your host Dr. Shini Somara introduces us to the ideas of motion in a straight ...

Bridges... bridges, bridges, bridges. We talk a lot about bridges in Physics. Why? Because there is A LOT of practical physics that can be learned from the planning ...

Physicists from Japan have taken to the skies to grow crystals in zero gravity. Helium crystals were grown using high pressures, extremely low temperatures (0.6K/-272°C) and by splashing them with a ...

A group of physicists from Japan have taken to the skies to grow crystals under zero gravity. Presenting their results today, 13 December, in the Institute of Physics and German Physical Society's New ...
