A data science project analyzing the oscillation of pendulums using theoretical and experimental models. The project demonstrates how classical physics concepts can be explored and validated using ...

Rotterdam designer David Derksen has decorated a set of plates by employing the oscillations of a pendulum to drip patterns of paint (+ movie). The patterns on Derksen's prototype Oscillation Plates ...

Like the flashing of fireflies and ticking of pendulum clocks, the signals emitted by multiple nanoscale oscillators can naturally synchronize under certain conditions, greatly amplifying their output ...

A basic pendulum is a mass at the end of a string that swings back and forth. It seems simple, and it appears in most introductory physics textbooks. But it's not a trivial problem to solve for the ...

A Foucault pendulum, or Foucault's pendulum, named after the French physicist Leon Foucault, was conceived as an experiment to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth; its action is a result of the ...

In 1851, the French physicist Léon Foucault provided an experimental proof of the Earth’s rotation using a pendulum. Although Foucault is best known for this ingenious experiment, he also made several ...

The first Foucault’s pendulum I ever saw was at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, the city where I was born. The pendulum hung in a stairwell. Its wire was attached to the ceiling four stories ...
