I had made a decision to cut back on blog articles discussing nanotechnology, but this one was just too good to pass up. In late 2005, researchers at Rice University built ... Read More

For our west coast readers, The Singularity Summit at Stanford on May 13, 2006, might be something worth checking out. The Summit will feature major inventors, scientists, futurists, and ... Read More

Among the most fundamental rules in physics, Newton's Three Laws of Motion are used throughout physics to analyze how force results in physical motion. Those who want to learn ... Read More

Nanotechnology has been in the news a lot lately. After last week's news about the first recall of a nanotechnology product, it's nice to have some good news on ... Read More

The scientific method is used by scientists to reach objective, hopefully accurate conclusions about the natural world. Scientists quantify nature's physical properties with measurable units, which are then applied ... Read More

Nano-No-No A report from the Washington Post cites the first case of a recall of a nanotechnology product. Nanotechnology involves the creation of microscopic machines less than one-ten-thousandth the width ... Read More

The Physics Guidesite continues to grow, as I add more content for my readers. Here's are some of the articles added in the last couple of days, although feel ... Read More

Today's feature is an article about Physics of the Greeks, which provides a nice starting point for those who are curious about how physics developed as a science, historically speaking. ... Read More

An article at PhysicsWeb outlines the recent simulation of the galaxy performed at Japan's Earth Simulator supercomputer. It is the most detailed simulation of the galaxy's development ever performed, ... Read More
