A subtle mistranslation of Isaac Newton’s first law of motion that flew under the radar for three centuries is giving new insight into what the pioneering natural philosopher was thinking when he laid ...

Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...

Engineers have developed a prototype metamaterial that uses electrical signals to control both the direction and intensity of energy waves passing through a solid material. Potential applications of ...

For years, a fringe theory challenging Isaac Newton’s Laws of Motion, known as Quantized Inertia (QI), has been used in an attempt to create a propellant-less engine. Now, the idea will get its ...
