Discover three captivating science experiments that bring physics concepts to life! Watch as a water balloon burst in slow ...

In physics, chilling out isn’t as simple as it seems. A hot object can cool more quickly than a warm one, a new study finds. When chilled, a warmer system cooled off in less time than it took a cooler ...

Physicists are fascinated with heady puzzles, from the nature of space and time to how the universe came to be. But spinning lawn sprinklers? Yes, that too. A new experiment provides an answer to a ...

In salt water solutions, water molecules rapidly move around salt ions at a scale of more than a trillion times a second, according to both experiments and simulations. In salt water solutions, water ...

Water, so ordinary and so essential to life, acts in ways that are quite puzzling to scientists. For example, why is ice less dense than water, floating rather than sinking the way other liquids do ...
