Centrifugal Reaction Newton’s third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Centrifugal reaction refers to the equal and opposite…
Newton’s First Law of Motion According to Newton’s first law, unless pushed to alter its condition by the operation of an external force, every object will continue to be at…
Errors in Measurement The foundation of any experimental study is measurement. Without constantly raising criteria for measuring precision, many of the greatest scientific discoveries would not have been…
Rules and Conventions for Writing SI units and their Symbols SI unit names are always written in lowercase when written. The symbols of units named after people, on the other hand, are capitalized (e.g., ampere…
SI Standards The International System of Units (SI) is a global standard for expressing magnitudes or quantities of significant natural phenomena. The System of Units, also known…
According to Researchers, Atomic Clocks in Orbit Could Reveal Dark Matter’s Composition According to a recent study published in Nature Astronomy, the key to understanding the nature of dark matter may be to examine an atomic clock…
Researchers Provide New Insights on What Causes Icicle Ripples Researchers at the University of Toronto are getting closer to understanding why some icicles form with ripples up and down their outsides while others form…
Using the Shadows and Collisions of Black Holes to Test Einstein’s Theory of Gravity The ideal place to test Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is right up against a black hole’s event horizon. This regime can be observed…
Using New Methods, Binary Black Hole Spin Behavior was Revealed An important step toward understanding the mechanisms of supernovas and other important astrophysical questions has been made by research at Cornell University, which has revealed…
After a Binary Black Hole Merger, a Kick Velocity Big Enough for a Single Gravitational Wave Event is Identified Following the first observation of a binary black hole merging, a team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Germany and…
Satellite Performance will be improved by Ultrathin Solar Cells As low Earth orbit becomes increasingly crowded, it will become more necessary to use middle Earth orbits, and radiation-tolerant cell designs will be required. Thinner…
Quantum Communication is expanded through the Use of Microlasers Quantum communication is an application of quantum physics that is closely related to quantum information processing and quantum teleportation. Its most intriguing application is the…
