This "magnetic pendulum" uses a motor to set it into motion at a specific speed and angle. Magnets within the pendulum's end and the floor repel one another as the pendulum swings, creating a complex ...

The Foucault Pendulum illustrates the rotation of the earth. It is not constrained to stay in a fixed plane like a clock pendulum, but instead its ordinary pendulum motion is free to change direction ...

This new AI acts like a digital scientist, turning messy data into simple rules that explain how the world really works.

Miami’s physics department may have gotten a new house last year, but it never really felt like home — until now. Missing was the department’s famed Foucault Pendulum. It couldn’t be moved from Culler ...

Introduction Did you know that playground swings can provide a good lesson in physics—as well as lots of fun? The back-and-forth motion of a swing is an example of a pendulum. We see pendulums in ...

The Foucault pendulum which was displayed for many years in the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History was removed in late 1998 to make room for the Star-Spangled Banner Preservation ...
