Isaac Newton was arguably the greatest mind to ever contribute to science. He was only 23 years old when he described the laws of motion, and his Earth-shattering works led to the invention of ...

The text is now best known for introducing “Pascal’s Law” or “Principle,” that any change of pressure in an enclosed incompressible fluid (like water) is transmitted equally to all points within the ...

I first came across the work of Adrian Bejan through my old friend, J. Peder Zane who emailed a bunch of classmates about a new book he had co-written with Bejan called Design in Nature, How the ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?
