Learn how to determine the observed intensity of a supernova using core physics ideas like luminosity, distance, and the inverse-square law. This video walks through the reasoning and calculations ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...

Here is classic (and difficult) physics problem that poses an interesting question: Take two points in space, Point 1 and Point 2. What is the path from point 1 to 2 that a frictionless object could ...

In a previous article, I introduced the recent open-sourcing of quantum computing software by DWave. DWave is the maker of a quantum computer being used and studied by a number of groups, including ...

At a time when artificial intelligence seems capable of achieving anything, a group of researchers from the University of New Mexico and Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a computational ...

Can you get rid of all the energy in the room in which you are reading this? Move the room far from the earth’s gravity, then toss out everything made of matter so you can cross off mass, kinetic, and ...
