The story of Isaac Newton's life. He discovered gravity, and the laws of motion that underpin much of modern physics. Yet he ...

Keep on moving – or not! Explore Newton’s First Law of Motion! Dr. Rob and the Crew use bowling balls, beads, and bottles to investigate Sir Isaac Newton’s First Law of Motion: An object at rest stays ...

A trio of fluid dynamics and mathematical modelers at Kyoto University has discovered how sperm and other tiny creatures are able to skirt Newton's third law of motion. In their paper published in the ...

For hundreds of years, we have been told what Newton’s First Law of Motion supposedly says, but recently a paper published in Philosophy of Science (preprint) by [Daniel Hoek] argues that it is based ...

Like most high schoolers in an intro to physics class, Dan Hoek heard the legendary tale of Isaac Newton and the apple. Here's how the story goes. While resting beneath a tree, Newton watched an apple ...

Isaac Newton spent his entire career proving that the universe follows precise, predictable laws. Then he lost a fortune ...

Human sperm cells and some microorganisms swim by deforming their bodies in a way that breaks Newton’s third law of motion – and we’re closer to understanding how they do it. The findings could ...

Isaac Newton, renowned for his physics breakthroughs, also explored faith, believing science and religion illuminated the ...
