Physics: Featured Facts
Newton's First Law of Motion
Physics / Fundamentals

The story of Isaac Newton discovering the laws of gravity by watching apples falling from a tree is probably just a myth. He did do his work on gravity while at a farm, but that is about as much as can be proven. Sir Isaac Newton first presented his three laws of motion in the 'Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis' in 1686. His first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion continue reading this fact

Physics / Classical Mechanics

NASA is well known for developing technology that makes things better, so can you believe that NASA actually did research on how to make tennis balls slower? continue reading this fact

Single Molecule Electroluminescence
Physics / Optics

(A) Silver oxide film exposed to DC current; (B) activated regions emitting light when conected to AC current; (C) zoom shows single molecule electroluminescence Incandescence and luminescence are two main ways of producing light. In incandescence, electric current is passed through a conductor (filament of a light bulb for example). The resistance to the cur continue reading this fact
