Explore the physics of elastic and inelastic collisions with a hands-on Newton’s Cradle demonstration! This video breaks down the differences between these types of collisions, illustrating concepts ...

Molecular collisions at low temperatures have become known as a feature-rich quantum mechanical scattering problem. Theoretical calculations more than a decade ago have shown that a plethora of ...

(Nanowerk News) Thanks to new technology, it is possible to retain individual atoms, move them in a targeted manner or change their condition. Kaiserslautern physicists also work with this system. In ...

It's almost always the last topic in the first semester of introductory physics—angular momentum. Best for last, or something? I've used this concept to describe everything from fidget spinners to ...
