How do Newton's Cradles connect to cancer treatments? Let's unpack the physics of some of our favorite desk toys, from dippy birds to perpetual motion machines, and explore how these scientific principles can be used beyond an office desk.

Learn the about the physics that allows bikes to stay upright and in motion, even without a rider.

It's been a tough week for space missions, from a failed Soyuz launch to two emergency shutdowns of space-based telescopes.

In this video Paul Andersen explains how a rotating system will have several quantities; including torque, angular velocity, angular acceleration and angular momentum. Each of these quantities have a vector property that can be...

Self balancing scooters (also known as hoverboards or Segways) have become an increasingly common form of transportation. Learn how these scooters stay upright and how the rider steers the vehicle with their body weight. This video also...

How stuff works??? - Gyroscope

In the current video we discuss the physics behind working of the a gyroscope. Gyroscope is a key component in IMU (Inertial...

After Hubble’s important gyroscopes began to fail, a Hubble emergency was declared and Servicing Mission 3 was quickly split into two separate launches. So on Dec. 19, 1999, the brave crew of space shuttle Discovery...

Spinning toys and tops have unusual behaviors. The famous tippe top flips itself over and spins on its stem. The PhiTOP stands up on its end, which you can also do with a hard-boiled egg. These behaviors all have to do with torque and...
