"Join me as we dive into the core concepts of forces and motion! In this video, we’ll review Newton’s Laws of Motion, explore how forces affect objects, and break down key principles like acceleration ...

The theory of photokinetic effects expresses the forces and torques exerted by a beam of light in terms of experimentally accessible amplitude and phase profiles. We use this formalism to develop an ...

Why do things fall? It’s about force and motion. Find out more in this Science Trek short. A force is basically a push or a pull. Forces like gravity, inertia, and momentum affect everything. On this ...

Innovative optical tractor beam technology enables 40-cm pulling of micro-droplets, highlighting the role of photon momentum ...
