In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton published his groundbreaking book, Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, which described his three laws of motion. In the process, Newton laid the foundation for ...

A lot of nonfiction for kids in upper elementary and middle school is what I think of as "book report books." They're packed with facts, but not presented in a way that makes them very interesting.

It seems unlikely that we will ever lose our fascination for the man whom David Berlinski calls “the largest figure in the history of Western science” and the author of “the greatest of scientific ...

In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton published his groundbreaking book, which described the three laws of motion and redefined the way the world looked at physics and science. These laws also work well as an ...

Consider the following physics problem. An object with a mass of 1 kg and a velocity of 1 m/s in the x-direction has a net force of 1 Newton pushing on it (also in the x-direction). What will the ...

The condensed-matter physicist Michael Pepper has won the Isaac Newton Medal and Prize “for the creation of the field of semiconductor nanoelectronics and discovery of new quantum phenomena”.

TIM PEAKE:Hi, I'm Tim Peake. I'm an astronaut based here at the European Space Agency, in Germany. And from December 2015 to June 2016, I spent six months orbiting Earth on the International Space ...

In 1687, Sir Isaac laid down the laws of motion in Principia Mathematica- laws which have still held true over 300 years later. In the law of conservation of momentum, he noted that the momentum of a ...

While many people around the world are opening presents and gathering with family as part of honoring of the birth of baby Jesus, some science enthusiasts are also celebrating another kind of luminary ...

Whenever I meet someone new and tell them I'm a physicist, there's a decent chance that they'll ask me to explain string theory. I can't manage much more than "It's one possible way to combine General ...
