An antique balance beautifully demonstrates torque in action. A simple yet powerful visual example of equilibrium and rotational physics at work, showing how forces balance in real life. #Physics #Tor ...

Electric motors are not just a new powertrain option, they are a fundamentally different way […] ...

Researchers at TU Wien have discovered a quantum system where energy and mass move with perfect efficiency. In an ultracold gas of atoms confined to a single line, countless collisions occur—but ...

Electric powertrains are simpler than internal combustion engines, but they’re no less impressive when it comes to the technical wizardry that helps you go places. Batteries, of course, are at the ...

I was looking over the week’s posts on Hackaday – it’s part of my job after all – and this gem caught my eye: a post about how to make your own RP2040 development board from scratch. And I’ll admit ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis were recognized for work that made behaviors of the subatomic realm observable at a larger scale. By Katrina Miller and Ali Watkins John Clarke, ...

Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enabled the ultra-sensitive measurements achieved by ...

In the 100th-anniversary year of quantum mechanics, which describes the universe at its smallest, most fundamental scales, the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has gone to three pioneers in bringing its ...

Most people think tightening wheels after fixing a flat tire is simple — grab a wrench, lean on it until your shoulder pops (ouch!), and call it a day. But wheel torque isn't just about brute force -– ...
