Astronomers witness first moments of planet formation as rock grains crystallize around distant star HOPS-315.

Just the third-ever confirmed interstellar object has been detected in our solar system. Here's what we know. (Spoiler: It's ...

Ping’s new i240 irons combine compact, tour-style shaping with a softer feel, higher launch, and more forgiveness in the long ...

Also: Staffers’ favorite Brad Pitt movies, Carnegie Hall performances in the parks, the stargazing rap of Ab-Soul, and more.

The area moment of inertia (also called the second moment of area) defines the resistance of a cross-section to bending, due to the shape of the cross-section. It is a key parameter for the ...

Omelyan, I.P. (1996) On the Derivation of the Dipole Moment Fluctuation Formulas for Finite Systems. Physics Letters A, 212, 279-284.

This paper proposes a new method to identify the mechanical parameters of a servo drive system, such as the moment of inertia and friction torque coefficients. Identification of the moment of inertia ...

This study delves into moment of inertia in rigid body mechanics, a crucial concept in physics. While it’s traditionally taught through integration, we propose an alternative method using discrete ...

A MATLAB live script that calculates centroids and moment of inertia for 5+ 2D geometric and cross-sectional shapes, implementing Parallel Axis Theorem and plot visualization.

In a system already resistant to change, human psychology reinforces inertia. Human sociability, conformism, and the sunk cost fallacy—which leads people to double down on a failing course of ...
