One ball on a Plinko board is unpredictable. Drop a thousand and they form a near-perfect bell curve—one of math’s most powerful ideas for 150+ years.

While friction isn’t the only influence on the slopes, it is definitely something at the top of a skier’s mind—especially ...

From the biathlon to the slopestyle to the giant slalom, raising a ski above your head after crossing the finish line is the triumphant Olympic skier's standard celebration. But why do the skis of the ...

The team used an AI method known as equation discovery to develop a model to simulate the interactions between small eddies—circular, vortex-like currents—and large-scale ones. These interactions are ...

If you've ever watched a glass blower at work, you've seen a material behaving in a very special way. As it cools, the viscosity of molten glass increases steadily but gradually, allowing it to be ...

Olympics skating events and performances will look different to students who have studied physics through sports.

England is barreling toward securing a fifth spot in the UEFA Champions League next season, for the second straight season, as Premier League clubs continue to pace the field in European competitions.
