Physicists have debated which way a submerged sprinkler sucking in water would spin. Careful experiments provide an answer.

Researchers have recreated the physics of extracting energy from a spinning black hole using a stationary device that ...

In this video I test out my new supersonic ping pong ball vacuum cannon. I show a little bit about how one of these is made and the theory behind how we can get to supersonic speeds with a cannon like ...

Researchers at New York University’s Courant Institute conducted a series of experiments with different silly sprinkler ...
