Cern's Large Hadron Collider routinely collides particles at energies equivalent to a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. If this worries you, then the following fact will either put you at ease or scare the hell out of you. And...

How many decibels would be recorded by the loudest sound waves your ears could possibly process? The loudest sound might be quieter than you think (because of how sound waves work)...or it might be louder than you think (because of how...

We've been making particle accelerators for more than a century and have accelerated particles to more than 99.9999% the speed of light. But our accelerators are nothing compared to some of the ones we've found in nature!

It’s been a great week for space explosions! Astronomers learned more about the mechanism that causes novas by looking at the nova V906 Carinae, and the brightest supernova ever recorded shed some new light on pulsation pair-instability.

We've all experienced thunder, but what ARE all those claps, booms, and rumbles?

Pupil outcome: I can describe and explain what causes an earthquake. Key learning points: - Earth is composed of four layers: the crust, mantle, outer core and inner core. - Movement in the tectonic plates that form Earth’s crust causes...

Space is full of radio waves, plasma waves, magnetic waves, gravitational waves, and shock waves, all of which can travel in space without a medium. These waves are recorded by instruments that can sense these waves, and the data is...

The loud bang caused by a plane or other object flying faster than the speed of sound.

Discover the damage caused by shockwaves and how they are created by supersonic speeds. Physics - Waves - Learning Points. Waves of high pressure are produced when something moves through a medium at supersonic speed. At supersonic...

This video discusses the techniques used by geologists to create 3D maps of layers beneath the Earth's surface, specifically for oil exploration. These maps help oil companies identify the best drilling locations to access oil...
