Unlock the secrets of torque and rotational equilibrium in this clear and engaging physics explanation. Using the example of a hanging sign, we break down how forces, distances, and angles work ...
Dubbed SMASH, the model is based on the standard model of particle physics, but has a few bits tacked on. The standard model is a collection of particles and forces that describes the building blocks ...
How it works: the wave in the foreground is an illustration of the phase of an out-of-equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensate in a 1D cavity, which belongs to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class.
