A new measurement by a student and professor at the University of Rochester has shed new light on the limits of scientists' standard model of physics. Doctoral student Ben Kilminster and Kevin ...

Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights.

The goal of mechanobiology is to develop a mechanical description of cells and their parts. Platelet clotting, for example, is an important biological process that can only be fully understood if a ...

Astronomers have just made a new measurement of the Hubble Constant, the rate at which the universe is expanding, and it doesn’t quite line up with a different estimate of the same number. That ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

The LHCb experiment has taken a leap in precision physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In a new paper submitted to Physical Review Letters and currently available on the arXiv preprint server, ...

Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley published a paper last week on their measurement of the smallest force ever quantified. Researchers applied a known force to a ...

Mechanical forces generated by cells not only drive the bending, stretching, alignment, and repositioning required for tissue development and homeostasis, but also regulate cell functions ranging from ...

Novel technique to measure forces produced by microorganisms as they move without harming them hopes to shine light on how bacteria move. Forces that are exerted by a living cell or a microorganism ...

This article was originally published at The Conversation. The publication contributed the article to Live Science's Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights. As "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" opens in theaters ...

A force is a push or a pull that acts on an object due to the interaction with another object. Force is measured in newtons (N). Forces are divided into contact forces and non-contact forces. A force ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...
