POINTS. WELL, WHETHER IT’S SWIMMING THE LENGTH OF A POOL IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE OR TURNING MULTIPLE FLIPS FEET OFF THE GROUND, OLYMPIC ATHLETES SEEM TO DEFY THE LAWS OF PHYSICS. SO OUR SYDNEY SHADRIX ...

Physics alumna Erin McCarthy ’23, right, was lead author on a study published in Physical Review Letters which uncovered mechanisms that cause particles to sort spontaneously into different groups.

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

In Python Physics #27, we break down the concept of electric potential using point charges and Python simulations. Learn how to calculate and visualize the potential created by single and multiple ...

Aging-US published "Applying deductive reasoning and the principles of particle physics to aging research" which reported that aging research currently lacks a common conceptual framework, and one ...

During the 2026 Winter Olympics, athletes will leap off ramps, slide across ice and spin through the air. These performances will look different to my students who have studied physics through sports.

An introduction to modern theories of the universe and its evolution. Topics include naked eye observation, the solar system, stars, galaxies, and cosmology. Emphasis will be placed on the scientific ...

In a University of Virginia physics course designed for non-science majors, professor Chris Neu has developed an innovative way to assess his students. In Neu’s iteration of a popular, long-running ...
