Spin has transformed modern-day tennis—here's the physics behind it by Anthony Blazevich, The Conversation Editors' notes ...

The ability to control a tennis ball's spin has transformed the modern game, making it faster and more spectacular than ever. But how exactly do players make the ball move through the air or ...

The Reviews of Modern Physics is a journal of the American Physical Society. The journal started in paper form. All volumes are also online by subscription.

The opening synopses of the histories of electricity and magnetism are likely to be very helpful to those students who might otherwise be worried by our modern conventions and order of ...

The first will be particularly helpful to students, and the latter properly completes a first-class introduction to modern physics. Introduction to Modern Physics.

Modern physics has many achievements to be proud of. A quantum understanding of three of the forces of nature. A beautiful, elegant description of gravity though the bending of space-time.

Professor Lee will examine the principle of cause and effect, the four noble truths and meditation from a scientific perspective. It is postulated that the principle of cause and effect is generally ...

But as the universe cooled, the Higgs gained strength and separated the two. (What mechanism separated the other forces of nature is an ongoing direction of modern-day physics research.) ...

Swami Vivekananda’s insemination of Vedantic thoughts may have influenced the development of quantum physics and modern-day cosmology. I hope to prove that to my readers by the end of this blog ...

The image of a physicist is usually the one of Albert Einstein or the more modern one of Sheldon and Leonard in "The Big Bang Theory". But what do we physicists really do? We would like to answer ...
