In the gaseous phase, vibrational-, rotational- and translational-energy transfer between small molecules can be observed experimentally from time-dependent optical spectra. Populations in the ...

Master the physics behind a backspinning bouncing ball and uncover the secrets of its rotation! This video explains angular momentum, torque, and energy transfer in a clear, step-by-step way, making ...

An international team has developed spherical colloidal particles for the visualization of rotational dynamics. The two-color fluorescent particles have an off-center core that allows tracking of ...

The study of polar motion and Earth's rotation dynamics encompasses the investigation of subtle shifts in the orientation of the planet's rotation axis relative to its crust. These motions are ...

Rotational X-ray tracking uncovers hidden motion at the nanoscale Date: May 9, 2014 Source: International Union of Crystallography Summary: Over the past two decades or so, there has been increasing ...

Mechanics plays a fundamental role in cell biology. Cells navigate these mechanical forces to explore their environments and sense the behaviour of surrounding living cells. The physical ...

Low-temperature plasmas are intrinsically non-equilibrium systems in which electromagnetic fields, particle transport, and thermodynamic processes interact ...

Did you know that, at a certain point on a moving wheel... there's no motion? Did you know that, at a certain point on a moving wheel... there's no motion? I mean, kinda... it's all relative, right?
