In this video, we break down the physics behind a tipping or sliding block! Learn how to calculate torque and friction to determine the exact moment when a block will tip or slide. Whether you're ...
Gymnastics is an extremely difficult sport, but some people make it look easy. Step forward Simone Biles, who hit a Yurchenko double pike—considered the “hardest vault in the world”—during the ...
Torque wrench: artist’s impression of the Casimir torque (purple streaks) acting on two solids (blue) against a background of quantum fluctuations (silver spikes). (Courtesy: Jeremy Munday) A very ...
One of my students showed me this game, [Fantastic Contraption](http://fantasticcontraption.com/). The basic idea is to use a couple of different "machine" parts to ...
The (Ga, Mn)As ferromagnetic semiconductors used in our work are favourable candidates for observing the optical spin transfer torque 1,2. The direct-gap GaAs host allows the generation of a high ...
Short demo: The fan in a vacuum pushes air out, creating a system of low pressure. This in turn creates a system of low pressure within the bag, allowing for an entertaining demonstration of the power ...
Luke is the Deputy Editor of our sister site Parkers, but he spends plenty of time writing news, reviews and features for CAR. He's been a motoring journalist since 2018, learning his craft on the ...
Twisted light: self-torque could be used to manipulate molecules. (Courtesy: iStock/VikaSuh) Physicists in Spain and the US have shown that the orbital angular momentum, or twistedness, of light can ...
Editor’s Note, 10/31/25: For this latest update, we added three new tools. The Craftsman 1/2-Inch Drive Torque Wrench is long and ideal for torquing larger bolts and fasteners. The Precision ...
