In this video, we break down the physics behind a tipping or sliding block! Learn how to calculate torque and friction to determine the exact moment when a block will tip or slide. Whether you're ...

The torque tube is a unique aspect of some Corvette models that help make the ride as smooth as possible. Here's how the ...

Everyone loves perpetual motion machines. They are a representation of the highest level of creativity in finding loopholes in the laws of physics. Let's take a look at this one. What is a perpetual ...

The 'spin-transfer torque effect' could provide a powerful means of controlling the orientation of spins with electric currents rather than magnetic fields in future spintronic devices. Quantitative ...

Twisted light: self-torque could be used to manipulate molecules. (Courtesy: iStock/VikaSuh) Physicists in Spain and the US have shown that the orbital angular momentum, or twistedness, of light can ...

Suppose you have a cylinder on an ramp and you let it start rolling down. What will be its acceleration? Great question, right? I like this because it brings in many different concepts in introductory ...

NTN Corp. is implementing the method in its proprietary calculation programs to support low-torque bearing design for electric and hybrid vehicle motors and gearboxes.
